Question

India is a federal state because its constitution provides for _________________
A. Dual citizenship
B. Dual judiciary
C. Sharing power between states and centre
D. A written constitution

Answer 1

Hint: The concept of Indian federalism was borrowed from Canada.
Federalist country has different levels or tiers of government. As per the constitution India is a federal country.

Complete answer:
Federalism is a system of government in which entities such as states or provinces share power with a national government.
In a federal country there are different levels or tiers of government, there may be two or more than two levels of government.
India has three levels of government, they are – central government, state government, and local government. Each level of the government derives its power as per the constitution of the country; there are three lists that state the power of the central and state government.
The list containing the powers of the central government is known as union list, the list contains the powers of the state is known as the state list and the list which include subjects related to the interest of both the level of government is known as the concurrent list.
Now,
India does not provide a dual citizenship
India has a single unified and integrated judicial system
Power is shared by the union and the state in our country
India has a written constitution but that is not what makes us a federal country

Hence, as per the above given explanation the correct solution is option (C).

Note: Each level or tier of government has its own power and they cannot dilute the power of each other.
There is a clear division of power between the different government levels.
Federal also means belonging or relating to the national government of a federal country rather than to one of the states within it.
