Problem 18 - Entrance Test

Why are fundamental provisions of the Constitution, related to power sharing, difficult to change in a federal system like India's?

Correct: B

To ensure the federal structure is protected, fundamental provisions of the Indian Constitution, especially those concerning power sharing between the Centre and the States, cannot be unilaterally changed by the Parliament. They require a special majority in both Houses of Parliament AND ratification by at least half of the total number of State Legislatures.
