The concept of 'Federation with a strong Centre' in the Indian Constitution has been borrowed from the constitutional framework of which country?

A. USA
B. Australia
C. Canada✓ Correct Answer
D. Ireland

💡 Solution & Explanation

The structural design of a federation with a strong central authority was adopted by the Indian Constitution from the constitutional framework of Canada. Features such as the appointment of state governors by the Centre and the vesting of residuary powers in Parliament reflect this strong unitary bias. The American constitution instead represents a stricter model of federalism.
