Which of the following are the salient features of the Indian constitution of India?
Single citizenship for the whole of India.
Strictly federal form of government.
A unique blend of rigidity and flexibility.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
ANSWER: D
Explanation:
Though the Indian Constitution is federal and envisages a dual polity (Centre and states), it provides for only single citizenship, that is, Indian citizenship. So, statement 1 is correct.
India has a federal system with unitary bias. The Constitution of India establishes a federal system of Government. It contains all the usual features of a federation, viz., two Governments, division of powers, written Constitution, the supremacy of Constitution, the rigidity of Constitution, independent judiciary and bicameralism. So, statement 2 is incorrect.
Indian constitution has a unique blend of rigidity and flexibility. Constitutions are also classified into rigid and flexible. A rigid Constitution is one that requires a special procedure for its amendment, as for example, the American Constitution. A flexible constitution, on the other hand, is one that can be amended in the same manner as the ordinary laws are made, as for example, the British Constitution. So, statement 3 is correct.
Hence, option D is correct.
