Ans. The Indian Constitution provides for a federal system of government, where power is divided between the Union Government and the State Governments. The Union Government is responsible for matters that affect the entire country, such as defense, foreign affairs, and communication, among others. In contrast, the State Governments are responsible for matters that affect the specific state, such as law and order, education, and healthcare. The Union Government has the power to override the State Governments in certain exceptional circumstances.
