Question

Which of the following countries has a federal system of government?
A.France
B.England
C.Sri Lanka
D.India

Answer 1

Hint:There is a distribution of legislative, executive and financial powers between union and states. The government of the whole country is called the Union government and the government of components units is called state government.

Complete answer:
The Constitution of India has established a federal structure of government in the country It means that there is a distribution of legislative, executive and financial powers between the Union and the States However, the word "Federation nowhere exists in the text of the Constitution, which described India as a Union of StatesThe word Union' suggests that in India the Central Government has been vested with too many powers. Even so, we find in India two sets of authority a) the government of the whole country called the Union Government, and b) governments of the component units, called the State Governments. Each citizen lives under two sets of laws, the laws of his State (Bihar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and so on) and the laws of the Nation. Rajya Sabha has a Federal Character It acts as the Representative of the States. The two Houses of the Union Parliament are known as the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. In a federal setup a second chamber has been generally regarded as essential.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:Governments derive their authority from the Constitution itself. Therefore, the State Governments are by and large independent of the control of the Union Government in the spheres assigned to them by the Constitution.
