Solution

The correct option is C The flexibility of the constitution

Explanation:

Federalism is a system of government in which powers have been divided between the centre and its constituent parts such as states or provinces. It is an institutional mechanism to accommodate two sets of politics, one at the centre or national level and the second at the regional or provincial level.

Federal features of Indian polity are:

  • Dual polity
  • Division of Powers
  • Written Constitution
  • Supremacy of the Constitution
  • Independent judiciary
  • Bicameral-legislation
  • The rigid federal provisions in the Constitution

The flexibility of the constitution is the Unitary feature of the Indian constitution as this strengthens the position of the central government.
