Explanation:

The Constitution of India provides a threefold distribution of legislative powers between the Centre and States:

Article 245: Extent of laws made by Parliament and by the Legislatures of States. It defines the territorial limits of legislative powers.
Article 246: Deals with the subject matter of laws, dividing it into the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List.
Article 248: Grants residuary powers of legislation to Parliament (i.e., matters not enumerated in the State or Concurrent List).
Article 356, however, relates to President’s Rule (State Emergency), which falls under administrative relations rather than legislative powers. So, it is not relevant in the context of legislative relations.
