Consider the following statements : a. Under the Act of 1935, the residuary powers were given to the Governor General of India. b. In United States the residuary powers are left to the States. c. In Canada the residuary powers are vested in the Provinces. Which of the above statements are correct ?
(a)1935 च्या कायद्यान्वये उर्वरित अधिकार हे भारताच्या गव्हर्नर जनरलकडे होते. / Under the Act of 1935, the residuary powers were given to the Governor General of India.
(b)अमेरिकेत उर्वरित अधिकार हे राज्यांकडे देण्यात आले आहेत. / In United States the residuary powers are left to the States.
(c)कॅनडामध्ये उर्वरित अधिकार हे प्रांतांना देण्यांत आले आहेत. / In Canada the residuary powers are vested in the Provinces.
Under the Government of India Act 1935, residuary powers were vested in the Governor-General. In the US Constitution, residuary powers are left to the States, whereas in Canada, they are vested in the Centre (not provinces). Thus statements a and b are correct, while c is incorrect.

(a)शेषाधिकार हे केन्द्र शासनाकडे आहेत. / The residuary powers have been left with the centre.
(b)अधिकारांची विभागणी ही घटक राज्ये आणि केन्द्र शासनामध्ये केली आहे. / The powers divided between states and the central government.
(c)राष्ट्रपती घटक राज्याच्या विधेयकांवर निर्णायक (संपूर्ण) नकारधिकार वापरतात. / President enjoys absolute veto over state bills.
(d)केन्द्र शासन हे राज्याच्या संमतीविना राज्याचे नाव, सीमा आणि क्षेत्रामध्ये बदल करू शकते. / The Union can change the name, area and boundary of a state without its consent.
Features that make a constitution less federal or more unitary include a strong center holding residuary powers, absolute veto by the President on state bills, and Parliament's unilateral power to alter state boundaries. If these unitary features were absent, the Constitution would be more federal.
