Solution

The correct option is A Liberalism
In SR Bommai Vs. Union of India (1994) case, the Supreme Court laid down that the Constitution is federal and characterised liberalism as its ‘basic feature’. It observed: “The fact that under the scheme of our Constitution, greater power is conferred upon the Centre vis-a-vis the states does not mean that the states are mere appendages of the Centre. The states have an independent constitutional existence. They are not satellites or agents of the Centre. Within the sphere allotted to them, the states are supreme".
