Practice questions
Q1When the Rajya Sabha declares it necessary in the national interest, under which Article can Parliament make laws on subjects in the State List?
Explanation
Article 249 allows Parliament to legislate on a State List subject when the Rajya Sabha passes a resolution that it is necessary in the national interest. Article 223 deals with the appointment of an acting Chief Justice of a High Court, not legislative power over the State List. Article 253 concerns laws for implementing international agreements, a different constitutional route from the one normally tested here. Article 293 concerns borrowing by states. Therefore the answer-key choice points to Article 249.
