Question

In the election of the President of India, the Constitution has attempted to

• A. maintain parity between the Union and the States
• B. afford more weightage to the Union
• C. afford more weightage to the States
• D. afford more weightage to the Union Territories

Answer 1

The correct option is A maintain parity between the Union and the States

The President of India is elected indirectly by both houses of parliament and elected members of all the state legislative assembly but only two of the union territories. Therefore, states have a much bigger say in this process, unlike other related matters.
