Q. Consider the following statements:
1. Indian parliament is a sovereign body similar to British parliament.
2. Indian state has an elected head while the Britain state has hereditary head.
3. Political sovereignty in India is with the people and not in a single individual.
How many statements given above are correct
Answer: B
Notes:
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is incorrect. Even though the Indian Parliamentary System is largely based on the British pattern, there are some fundamental differences between the two. The Indian Parliament is not a sovereign body like the British Parliament.
Statement 2 is correct. The Indian State has an elected head that is why it is called as republic while the British State has hereditary head what we call as monarchy.
Statement 3 is correct. India is a republic which means political sovereignty lies with the people and not in a single individual like a king. It also means the absence of any privileged class and hence all public offices being opened to every citizen without any discrimination.
