The concept of 'Federation with a strong centre' in India was borrowed from the Constitution of:
-
A.
Canada
-
B.
USA
-
C.
UK
-
D.
Australia
Correct Answer:
A. Canada
Explanation:
The Indian Constitution establishes a federal system where power is shared between the central and state governments, but it is intentionally designed with a strong central authority to maintain national unity and integrity. This specific model, often described as quasi-federal, was primarily inspired by the Constitution of Canada. Unlike the American federal system, where states hold significant independent autonomy and residuary powers, the Canadian and Indian models grant the central government greater control, including the authority over residuary powers and the appointment of state governors. While the Government of India Act 1935 provided the initial framework for a federal scheme in India, the specific concept of a federation with a dominant centre is a feature adopted from Canada.
