Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Distribution of legislative powers between Union and States.

 

Schedule VII of the Indian Constitution is concerned with the distribution of legislative subjects between the Union (Central) Government and the State Governments.

It achieves this by dividing the subjects into three comprehensive lists:

  1. Union List: Subjects on which Parliament (Union) has exclusive power to make laws (e.g., Defence, Railways, Banking).

  2. State List: Subjects on which the State Legislatures have the power to make laws (e.g., Police, Public Health, Agriculture).

  3. Concurrent List: Subjects on which both the Parliament and the State Legislatures can make laws (e.g., Education, Forests, Trade Unions).
