The concept of Concurrent List in the Indian Constitution is borrowed from the Constitution of _____________.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Australia.

The concept of the Concurrent List in the Indian Constitution is borrowed from the Constitution of Australia. In India, the Concurrent List includes subjects on which both the Union and State legislatures can make laws, such as education, forests, marriage, adoption, and trade unions. In case of conflict, the Union law prevails over the State law. This arrangement ensures uniformity on important matters while still allowing states to legislate, balancing federalism with national interests in governance and policymaking.
