Solution

The correct option is D Both (a) and (b)
The Constitution has established federal structure i.e. dual government. It has also placed a restriction on the executive power of the State in order to pave the way for central executive power to be exercised in an unrestricted manner. Article 256 provides that the executive power of the State shall be so exercised as to ensure compliance with the laws made by Parliament and the executive power of the Union shall also extend to the giving of such directions to a State as it may deem essential for the purpose.
