a state, in case its constitutional machinery breaks down?
-
A.
Article 343
-
B.
Article 352
-
C.
Article 356
-
D.
Article 83
Correct Answer:
C. Article 356
Explanation:
Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, often called President's Rule, allows the President to assume control of a state's administration if its constitutional machinery fails. This provision is invoked when the President, based on a Governor's report or other information, determines that the state government can no longer operate according to constitutional mandates. In such instances, the state's executive authority is transferred to the Union, and legislative powers are typically exercised by Parliament. Other related articles serve different purposes: Article 352 governs National Emergencies involving war or rebellion, Article 343 designates the Union's official language, and Article 83 outlines the terms for the Houses of Parliament.
