Answer: C

Explanation:

The Drafting Committee was the most important among all the committees of the Constituent Assembly. It was formed on August 29, 1947. This was the committee that was entrusted with the responsibility of drafting the new constitution.

It had seven members, whose names were Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (President), N. Gopalaswami Iyengar, Alladi Krishnaswami Iyer, Dr. K.M. Munshi, Syed Mohammad Saadullah, N. Madhava Rao (he replaced B.L. Mitra, who had resigned due to health reasons) and T.T. Krishnamachari (he replaced D.P. Khaitan after his death in 1948). After considering the proposals of various committees, the Drafting Committee prepared the first draft of the Constitution of India. It was published in February 1948. The drafting committee took less than six months to prepare its draft. During this period, a total of 141 meetings were held. Hence, all three statements are correct.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The constitution is divided into two categories – written, such as the American Constitution, and unwritten, such as the British Constitution. The Constitution of India is the longest written constitution in the world. This is a very comprehensive and detailed document. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Originally (1949), the Constitution had a Preamble, 395 Articles (divided into 22 Parts), and 8 Schedules. Various amendments made since 1951 have deleted about 20 Articles and one Part (Part-VII), and added about 85 Articles, four Parts (4A, 9A, 9B, and 14A), and four Schedules (9, 10, 11, 12). No other constitution in the world has so many Articles and Schedules. Hence, statement 2 is correct.

Answer: A

Explanation:

The Constitution of India has taken most of its provisions from the provisions of the Constitutions of many countries of the world and the 'Government of India Act, 1935'. Most of the structural parts of the Constitution are taken from the Government of India Act, 1935. Parliamentary system, single citizenship, parliamentary privilege, bicameral system, process established by law, legislative process, cabinet system etc. have been taken from the Constitution of Britain. Hence, pair 1 is not correctly matched.

The Directive Principles of State Policy, nomination of members to the Rajya Sabha, system of election of the President, etc. are taken from the Constitution of Ireland. Hence, pair 2 is correctly matched.

Independence of the judiciary, fundamental rights, impeachment of the President, due process of law, post of Vice President, principle of judicial review etc. have been taken from the American Constitution. Hence, pair 3 is not correctly matched.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The parliamentary system is also known as the 'Westminster' form of government, responsible government and cabinet government. The Constitution establishes the parliamentary system not only at the Center but also in the states. Features of the parliamentary system in India - de facto and The presence of nominal executives, power of the majority party, joint accountability of the executive before the legislature, membership of ministers in the legislature, leadership of the Prime Minister or Chief Minister and dissolution of the lower house (Lok Sabha or Assembly).

Although the Indian parliamentary system is largely based on the British parliamentary system, there are some fundamental differences between the two. For example, unlike the British Parliament, the Indian Parliament is not sovereign. Apart from this, the head of India is an elected person (republic), whereas in Britain there is a succession system. In any parliamentary system, be it India or Britain, the role of the Prime Minister has become very important. Hence, option (c) is correct.

Answer: D

Explanation:

The Preamble was first included in the American Constitution and subsequently many other countries adopted it, including India. Preamble is called the introduction or introduction of the Constitution. This contains the essence of the Constitution. Renowned jurist and constitutional expert N.A. Palkhiwala has called the Preamble 'the introduction letter of the Constitution'. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution is based on the 'Objective Resolution' drafted and introduced by Pandit Nehru and adopted by the Constituent Assembly. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution was inspired by the Preamble of the United States Constitution. It was amended by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, which inserted the words socialist, secular and integrity. Hence, all three statements are incorrect.
