Question

The Constitution of India declare India as a .

A.

A Federation

B.

Democratic state

C.

Totalitarian state

D.

A Union of State

Correct option is D

The correct answer is:(D) A Union of States

Explanation:
The Constitution of India declares India as a Union of States under Article 1. While India has a federal structure, it is not a mere federation like the United States. Instead, it is described as a "Union" because the states are not sovereign. The central government has significant powers to govern and maintain the unity of India, and the Union is indestructible. The Constitution does not allow states to secede from the Union.

Information Booster:
Article 1 of the Indian Constitution clearly defines India as a Union of States.
• The term "Union" signifies that the states have no right to secede, and the country is bound together as one entity.
• The Constitution provides for a federal structure with a strong central government that has the power to override state laws.
• The Union includes the territories as well, not just the states.
The Union of States concept establishes the sovereignty of the Indian state as a whole, while allowing for the devolution of certain powers to the states.

Additional Information:
 A Federation: India does have a federal structure, but it is not a federation in the traditional sense as in countries like the USA.
 Democratic state: While India is indeed a democratic state, the term "Union of States" is more specific in defining its nature.
 Totalitarian state: India is a democratic country, and not a totalitarian state, which would have a centralized and oppressive regime.
