​  STRUCTURE OF THE REPUBLIC

The Republic is Federal in structure and follows a Parliamentary form of governance.

The Parliamentary nature of the Democratically government of India, allows for an elected body to serve together with an appointed beauracracy to govern the affairs of the country and the  states.

This allows for the legislative as well as the adminstrative  powers to be split between the center and the states.

The exclusivity of legislative power between the Union and the States, are exercised based on items, which are divided into three lists.


These are the  Union list, the State list and the Concurrent List.
