Question

Term 'Federal' has been used in the Indian Constitution in:

• A. Part-III
• B. Article-368
• C. Nowhere in the Constitution
• D. Preamble

Hint:

Check the exact wording of Article 1 that describes what kind of country India is.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question checks whether the exact word "federal" is written anywhere in the Constitution of India.

1. Part III: covers Fundamental Rights and contains no reference to the term "federal."
2. Article 368: lays down the procedure for amending the Constitution, again without using the word "federal."
3. Nowhere in the Constitution: correct, the Constitution instead calls India a "Union of States" in Article 1, a deliberate choice to signal that the Union cannot be broken apart by any state, unlike a typical federation formed by agreement.
4. Preamble: describes India as Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic, but does not mention "federal."

Since the term is absent throughout the document, option C is the correct answer.
