Which form of government is established by the Constitution of India both, at the centre and states?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.  parliamentary form of government .

The Constitution of India establishes a Parliamentary form of government at both the Centre and the State levels. This system is modeled on the British Parliamentary system, where the Executive is accountable to the Legislature. The President and Governors are nominal heads, while the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers hold real power. The Council of Ministers remains in office as long as it enjoys the confidence of the Lok Sabha or the State Legislative Assembly. This form of government ensures collective responsibility, flexibility, and democratic accountability, making it suitable for a diverse country like India.

Other Options:

  • Socialist – It is a directive principle, not a form of government; India is a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, but socialism is not a governance structure.

  • Confederal – A confederal system has weak central authority and strong independent states, which is not the case in India.

  • Presidential – In this system, the Executive is independent of the Legislature, as in the USA; India does not follow this system.
