Which of the following is NOT a feature of federalism in India?
Question

Which of the following is NOT a feature of federalism in India?

A.

Supremacy of the Constitution

B.

Supremacy of the Governor in the State

C.

Vertical separation of powers

D.

Written Constitution

Correct option is B

The correct answer is b) Supremacy of the Governor in the State.

In the Indian federal structure, the Governor is a nominal or titular head of the state, not a supreme authority. Their role is largely ceremonial, and they are generally required to act on the "aid and advice" of the elected Council of Ministers headed by the Chief Minister.

Why Option 2 is NOT a feature of Federalism

Constitutional Position: The Governor is appointed by the President (on the advice of the Union Cabinet) and serves as a bridge between the Center and the State. Giving the Governor "supremacy" would violate the democratic principle where power resides with the elected representatives of the people.

Unitary Tilt: In fact, the office of the Governor is often cited as a unitary (non-federal) feature because the Center can influence state administration through this appointment. Supremacy lies with the Constitution, not with any individual office holder.
