    ‘Right to life’ under Article 21 does not include 

    • A.

      Right to food. 

    • B.

      Right to legal aid. 

    • C.

      Right to vote

    • D.

      Right to livelihood.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The right to life under Article 21 does not include the right to vote. While the right to life encompasses various aspects such as the right to live with dignity, personal liberty, and protection from arbitrary deprivation of life, it does not explicitly mention the right to vote. The right to vote is typically considered a political right and is governed by separate laws and regulations. Therefore, although the right to vote is an important democratic right, it is not inherently included in the right to life under Article 21.

    At the time of Emergency, the Indian State becomes ……… from ………..

    • A.

      Federal, Unitary.

    • B.

      Unitary, Federal.

    • C.

      Unitary, Unitary.

    • D.

      Unitary, Quasi-federal.

    Correct Answer
    D. Unitary, Quasi-federal.
    Explanation
    During the time of Emergency, the Indian State becomes "Unitary" in terms of the concentration of power in the hands of the central government. However, it is also considered "Quasi-federal" because although the central government gains more authority, the federal structure is not completely abolished. The states still exist and have some powers, but their autonomy is significantly reduced. This combination of characteristics makes the Indian State "Unitary, Quasi-federal" during the Emergency.

Prior to 1975, Sikkim had a special status as a protectorate of India. However, in 1975, a referendum was held in Sikkim, in which the majority of the population voted in favor of merging with India. As a result, Sikkim became the 22nd state of India.

This system ensures a balance between centralization and regional autonomy, making Canada the correct answer in this case.

    • B.

      Restrictive rights.

    • C.

      Limited rights.

They are also considered restrictive rights because they limit the power of the government to infringe upon certain liberties. Additionally, fundamental rights are limited in the sense that they are subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order, morality, and the like.

    Explanation
    The 42nd Amendment of the Indian Constitution increased the term of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament, to six years. This amendment was passed in 1976 and aimed at ensuring stability and continuity in the functioning of the government. Prior to this amendment, the term of the Lok Sabha was five years. The increase in the term was seen as a way to provide more time for the government to implement its policies and programs without the frequent disruptions caused by early elections.

    Which is not a constitutional office?

    • A.

      Chief Election Commissioner.

    • B.

       State’s Advocate General.

    • C.

      State’s Chief Secretary.

    • D.

      State’s Chief Justice.

    Correct Answer
    C. State’s Chief Secretary.
    Explanation
    The Chief Secretary is not a constitutional office because it is a bureaucratic position rather than a constitutional position. The Chief Secretary is the highest-ranking civil servant in a state government and is responsible for coordinating and implementing government policies and programs. While the Chief Secretary plays a crucial role in the functioning of the state government, their position is not established or defined by the constitution. In contrast, the Chief Election Commissioner, State's Advocate General, and State's Chief Justice are all constitutional offices with specific roles and responsibilities outlined in the constitution.
