Indian federalism is closer to- A. Nigeria B. Australia C. Canada D. USA

[amp_mcq option1=”Nigeria” option2=”Australia” option3=”Canada” option4=”USA” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is C. Canada.

India and Canada are both federations with a strong central government and a relatively weak role for the provinces/states. The central government in both countries has the power to make laws on a wide range of subjects, including defense, foreign affairs, and currency. The provinces/states have a more limited range of powers, and they are not allowed to make laws that conflict with federal law.

In contrast, the United States is a federation with a much weaker central government. The states in the United States have a much greater degree of autonomy than the provinces/states in Canada or India. The states in the United States are allowed to make laws on a wide range of subjects, including education, healthcare, and transportation. The federal government in the United States has the power to make laws on only a limited number of subjects, such as national defense and interstate commerce.

Nigeria is a federation, but it is a much more centralized federation than Canada or India. The central government in Nigeria has a very strong role, and the states have a relatively weak role. The central government in Nigeria has the power to make laws on a wide range of subjects, including defense, foreign affairs, currency, education, healthcare, and transportation. The states in Nigeria have a much more limited range of powers, and they are not allowed to make laws that conflict with federal law.

In conclusion, the Indian federal system is closer to the Canadian federal system than to the United States federal system or the Nigerian federal system.
