Q1. When an emergency is declared due to the failure of the constitutional machinery in the states, it is invoked under:
A Article 360
B Article 350
C Article 352
D Article 356 Correct
Explanation
Failure of the constitutional machinery in a state is dealt with under Article 356, commonly called President's Rule. It allows the Union to assume functions of the state government when governance cannot be carried on according to the Constitution. Article 360 concerns financial emergency, not state machinery failure. Article 352 is for national emergency on grounds such as war, external aggression or armed rebellion. Article 350 relates to language used in representations for redress of grievances, so it is unrelated to emergency provisions.
