Question and options
Indian Federal System is largely based on the pattern of
- American Federation
- Australian Federation
- Swiss Federation
- Canadian Federation
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Canadian Federation
The Indian federation is modelled largely on the Canadian pattern: it was not formed by an agreement among States, it has a strong Centre, and residuary powers rest with the Union. The American federation, by contrast, arose from an agreement of states that kept the residuary powers. India borrowed the Concurrent List from Australia, not its overall federal model.
