The idea of concurrent list in the Indian Constitution was taken from

Correct option is B

The idea of the Concurrent List in the Indian Constitution was borrowed from the Australian Constitution. The Concurrent List refers to the subjects on which both the central and state governments can make laws. However, in case of any conflict between the laws made by the center and the state, the law made by the center prevails.

Key Points:

• Concurrent List is a significant feature that defines the division of powers between the central and state governments.
• Subjects in the Concurrent List include matters such as criminal law, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, and education.
• Australia provided the model for the Concurrent List where both federal and state governments share legislative powers.
• The Indian Constitution also has a Union List and a State List, which divide subjects exclusively between the central and state governments.
• If a law made by a state is inconsistent with a law made by the Parliament on the same subject, the law made by Parliament prevails.
• The idea ensures cooperation and coordination between the center and the states while maintaining the federal structure.
