Question

Accepted Answer

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A. Quasi-federalism means an intermediate form of State between a unitary State and a Federation. Indian Constitution contains both features of a federal Constitution and unitary Constitution. Hence it is called Quasi-Federal. India has an independent judiciary with power of judicial review. Judicial review is the power of the Supreme Court and the High Courts to examine the Constitutionality of the Acts of the Parliament and State Legislatures, executive orders of both Centre and State Governments. Hence both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
