Which of the following statements is correct about Indian Constitution?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Resolves legislative conflicts between the Union and states.
The Constitution of India divides law-making powers between the Union and the states in the Seventh Schedule (Union, State and Concurrent Lists) and also says what happens when their laws clash.
Option (1) Any part of Indian Constitution did not take from any Country. — Incorrect. Many features were borrowed from other constitutions: the parliamentary system from Britain, Fundamental Rights from the USA, the Directive Principles from Ireland and a federation with a strong Centre from Canada.
Option (2) Holds ministers not accountable to Parliament for state actions. — Incorrect. Under Article 75(3) the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, which can remove it by a vote of no confidence.
Option (3) Constitution of India is not in written. — Incorrect. It is a written constitution, the longest in the world, adopted on 26 November 1949.
Option (4) Resolves legislative conflicts between the Union and states. — Correct. Article 246 and the three lists fix who may make laws on each subject, and under Article 254 a Union law prevails over a conflicting state law on a Concurrent List subject. Disputes between the Union and the states go to the Supreme Court (Article 131).
