The concept of 'Single Citizenship' in the Indian Constitution has been borrowed from the constitutional system of which country?
A. USA
B. Canada
C. Britain (UK)✓ Correct Answer
D. Australia
💡 Solution & Explanation
India has a federal system but provides for single citizenship, a concept borrowed from the British Constitution to promote a sense of fraternity and unity among citizens. Other choices like the United States feature a dual citizenship model where individuals hold citizenship of both the federation and their respective states. Understanding this unitary feature is essential for grasping the quasi-federal nature of the Indian polity. Similar unitary features borrowed from Britain include the parliamentary form of government and the rule of law.
