• D. Dual government

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Dual government

• The correct feature regarding the federal system of the Indian Constitution is Dual government.

• Dual citizenship, equal representation in the upper or lower house are not defining characteristics of India's federal system.

• 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 central or national level and the second at the regional or provincial level
