Answer 1

Dear Student,

1. The Mayor presides over the meetings of the Municipal Corporation, it is his most important function of all. The Mayor will guide its deliberations, to maintain decorum, and exclude any objectionable portion from the record of the proceedings of the council. He is also empowered to expel and even suspend members for gross misconduct or disorderly misbehaviour. In case of a tie, he exercises his casting vote. He may call special meetings of the council when considered necessary and shall have to call a meeting when asked by a specified number of councillors.

2. A federal form of government is a system where power is distributed between the central and the state governments. In federalism, there are two or more levels of government in the country. The jurisdiction and the powers of both central and state governments are defined in its constitution. While central laws are applicable to all states, the state laws are applicable only to the respective states. The 74th and 75th constitutional amendment has introduced local-self government in India. Alongside the central and the state governments, there is also local government which is made part of the form of government. The local government comprises panchayats and municipalities. These are the three different forms of government in India.
