Explanation
The Constitution of the United States explicitly provides for a federal system. The Constitution of India describes India as a “Union of States”; however, some provisions of the Constitution emphasize making the Centre more powerful than the States. Because of this, some scholars consider the Indian Constitution a mixture of federal and unitary features; yet it is more appropriate to say that the Indian Constitution is basically federal in nature, though it also has certain unitary characteristics.
