The emergency provisions of the Indian Constitution are borrowed from the Government of India Act, ________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 1935.
The emergency provisions of the Indian Constitution are largely borrowed from the Government of India Act, 1935.
This pre-independence legislation provided for emergency powers to the Governor-General and provincial governors, which served as a significant blueprint for the emergency provisions (Articles 352-360) in the Indian Constitution. While elements like the suspension of Fundamental Rights during an emergency were influenced by the Weimar Constitution of Germany, the structural and functional aspects of declaring and managing emergencies draw heavily from the 1935 Act.
