Q1. Which of the following is not a salient feature of the Indian Constitution?
A Longest written Constitution
B Universal adult franchise
C Provisions drawn from various sources
D Provision of dual citizenship Correct
Explanation
The Indian Constitution provides for single citizenship, not dual citizenship. Therefore, dual citizenship is not one of its salient features. The Constitution is widely described as the longest written constitution because of its detailed structure and schedules. Universal adult franchise is a core democratic feature, allowing adult citizens to vote without property, education or gender qualifications. Many provisions were drawn from different constitutional sources, such as parliamentary government, fundamental rights, directive principles and emergency provisions, making borrowed features another recognised characteristic.
