💡 Solution & Explanation

The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts of 1992 provided uniform constitutional backing, democratic decentralization frameworks, and structured local bodies for rural and urban areas across India. Statutes like the 42nd Amendment addressed fundamental duties and emergency provisions rather than grassroots local governance.
