Indian Constitution and Polity 3

Hi everyone,

In this third post on Indian Constitution and Polity, I am going to discuss a few key features of the Indian Constitution.

  1. Although India adopted the British model of Parliamentary form of Government, there is no crown as the Head of The State.

  2. India and United States of America are democracies but United States of America has a Presidential form of government, whereas there is a Parliamentary form of Government in India.

  3. The distribution of power for running the country effectively has been done on the Principle of ‘Doctrine of Separation of Power’. The distribution has been done in the following basis:
    Legislature – to make / enact the laws
    Executive – to implement the laws (constitutes of government machinery like police, public servants, etc.)
    Judiciary – to interpret / enforce the laws

  4. The powers which are not mentioned in the Constitution are called ‘Residual powers’. These powers are accorded to the Union Government.

  5. In order to conduct free and fair elections, the Constitution provides for independent machinery known as “The Election Commission”.

  6. The Chief Election Commissioner and the member Commissioners are appointed by the President of India. The Chief Election Commissioner can be impeached and then removed from his post only on the grounds of misbehavior or inefficiency.
