    How has the Constitution divided powers between the Central and State governments?

    Answer:

    The Constitution has made India a union of states. It was important to divide power between the Central and State governments. There were arguments that a strong centre was important whereas some felt that states should be given greater autonomy in keeping with the principles of democracy. So, the constitution has divided the powers between the central and state governments. There are three lists in the constitution. The Union list has subjects which are of national importance and oily the central government can make laws on these subjects. The state list has subjects on which the state governments can make laws. There is a third list called the Concurrent List which has subjects on which both can make laws.
