    Question

    The provision of a quasi-federal form of government for India was adopted from:

    A.

    Russia

    B.

    Britain

    C.

    Canada

    D.

    Ireland

    Correct option is C

    The Correct Answer Is: (c) Canada
    Explanation:
    The provision of a quasi-federal form of government for India was adopted from Canada. The term "quasi-federal" means that India has a federal structure with a strong central authority, making the system unique.
    While the Constitution of India established a federal system with division of powers between the Centre and the States, the Centre holds more power, similar to Canada's system, where the central government is stronger than the provincial governments. 
    Information Booster:
    • The quasi-federal nature of India’s Constitution reflects a strong central government and a weak states system.
    • The Indian Union Government is empowered to legislate on a broader range of subjects, while states have limited power, especially in times of national emergency.
    • Canada’s model inspired India’s Constitution, which emphasizes the importance of central control in a diverse and vast country.
    • The Emergency Provisions in India allow the Centre to take control in areas that would normally be handled by state governments.

    Additional Information:

    • Russia : Russia has a federal system.
    • Britain : Britain has a unitary system of government, with no written constitution or federal structure.
    • Ireland : Ireland has a parliamentary system.
