The model of the 'Quasi Federal' form of government in the Indian constitution is borrowed from which country?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Canada.
The model of a ‘Quasi-Federal’ form of government in the Indian Constitution is borrowed from Canada. In a quasi-federal system, the structure combines features of both federal and unitary governments, but with a strong central authority. Like Canada, India’s Constitution grants significant powers to the Union Government while allowing states to function independently in certain matters. This arrangement ensures national unity while accommodating regional diversity. The Canadian influence is particularly visible in India’s division of powers between the Centre and States through the Union, State, and Concurrent Lists in the Seventh Schedule.
