Modern India: Framing the Constitution

Question:

Which among the following are three list of subjects provided by the 'Draft' Constitution:

Options:

Princely, State and Union.

Union, State and Provincial.

State, Provincial and Federal.

Union, State and Concurrent.

Correct Answer:

Union, State and Concurrent.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Union, State and Concurrent.

The three lists of subjects provided by the 'Draft' Constitution - Union, State, and Concurrent - were part of the scheme of distribution of powers between the center and the states in India. Here's the reasoning behind this arrangement:

Union List:

  • The Union List includes subjects on which only the central government has the authority to legislate. These are matters of national importance and concern.

State List:

  • The State List comprises subjects on which only the state governments can legislate. These are matters of local or regional significance.

Concurrent List:

  • The Concurrent List includes subjects on which both the central and state governments can legislate. However, in case of a conflict, the central law prevails.

So, the correct option is [4].
