Polity & Governance › Federalism & Emergency Provisions
Which one of the following is a correct description of the Indian Federal System?
Explanation
The Indian federal system is characterized by an integrated judicial system. Unlike the United States, which has a dual system of courts (federal courts for federal laws and state courts for state laws), India has a single hierarchy of courts—with the Supreme Court at the apex—that enforces both Central and State laws.
- Option A: India has single citizenship (Part II) to promote national unity, unlike the dual citizenship found in the USA.
- Option B: Representation in the Rajya Sabha is based on the population of each state (Fourth Schedule), whereas in the USA, every state has equal representation in the Senate.
- Option C: Members of All-India Services (Article 312) are appointed by the President and can only be dismissed or removed by the Central Government (Article 311), although they serve under State governments.
