Ishan Jha
The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It is a living document, an instrument which makes the government system work. It lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 449 articles in 25 parts, 12 schedules, 5 appendices and 101 Amendments.

Salient Features of the Indian Constitution

1. The lengthiest Constitution in the world The Indian Constitution is the lengthiest and the most detailed of all the written Constitutions of the world containing 449 articles in 25 parts, 12 schedules, 5 appendices and 101 Amendments.

2. Parliamentary form of Government The constitution of India establishes a parliamentary form of a government both at the Centre and the State. The essence of the parliamentary government is its responsibility to the Legislature. The president is the constitutional head of the State but the real executive power is vested in the council of ministers whose head is the Prime Minister.

3. Unique blend of rigidity and flexibility It has been the nature of the amending process itself in federations which had led political scientists to classify federal Constitution as rigid.

4. Fundamental Rights The incorporation of a formal declaration of Fundamental Rights in part III of the Constitution is deemed to be a distinguishing feature of a democratic State. These rights are prohibitions against the State. The State cannot make a law which takes away or abridges any of the rights of the citizens guaranteed in part III of Constitution.

5. Directive Principles of State policy (DPSP) The Directive Principles of State Policy contained in Part IV of the Constitution, it set out the aims and objectives to be taken up by the States in the governance of the country.

6. A federation with strong centralising tendency The most remarkable feature of the Indian Constitution is that being a federal Constitution it acquires a unitary character during the time of emergency. During the proclamation of emergency the normal distribution of powers between Centre and State undergoes a vital change. The union parliament is empower to legislate on any subject mentioned in the state list. The financial arrangements between the Centre and State can also be altered by the Union Government.

7. Adult Suffrage The old system of communal electorates has been abolished and the uniform adult suffrage system has been adopted. Under the Indian Constitution every man and women above 18 years of age has been given the right to elect representatives for the legislature. 8. An Independent Judiciary An independent and impartial judiciary with power of judicial review has been established under the Constitution of India. It is a custodian right of citizens. Besides, in a federal Constitution it plays another significant role of determining the limits of power of the Centre and States.

9. A Secular State A Secular State has no religion of its own as recognised religion of State. It treats all religions equally. Articles 25 to 28 of the Indian Constitution give concrete shape to this concept of secularism. It guarantees to every person the freedom of conscience and the right to profess, practice and propagate religion. In a Secular state, the state only regulate the relationship between man and man.

10. Single Citizenship The American constitution provides for dual citizenship, i.e., the citizen of America and a state citizenship. But in India there is only one citizenship, i.e., Citizen of India. No state citizenship like citizen of Assam, Citizen of Delhi. Every Indian is Citizen of India and enjoy the same rights of citizenship no matter in what state he resides

The correct answer is Imaginary audience.

 

Adolescence is a stage of development and transition towards adult life, which is characterized by an accelerated growth rate. During its development, neurological, cognitive and socioemotional changes occur, in addition to physical and sexual maturation. All of these experiences include the transition to social and economic independence, the development of identity, an increase in self-centeredness, the acquisition of the skills necessary to establish relationships in groups and the practice of roles.

Egocentrism during adolescence manifests itself through several cognitive and emotional phenomena such as the personal fable, the imaginary audience and the feeling of invulnerability:

The personal fable is a story that teenagers tell themselves, based on the conviction that their personal experience is special and unique.

Imaginary audience: When, unrealistically, teenagers consider that others pay as much attention to their appearance and conduct as themselves.

The feeling of invulnerability is a cognitive distortion that could underlie the risky behaviors that some adolescents engage in, thinking that the most likely consequences of such behaviors cannot happen to them because they are special.

Through a group of equals, teenagers learn to put into perspective and to relativize what is happening to them, as well as the emotional intensity it produces.

Which of these will increase the United States trade deficit?
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is <em>D) American firms purchasing industrial equipment from German companies</em>.

The balance of trade is the difference between a nation's exports and imports in a given period. A nation is considered to have a trade surplus when its exports exceed its imports. On the other hand, it is considered to have a trade deficit when its imports exceed its exports.

The United States currently holds a trade deficit. In this case, the purchase of German equipment represents a contribution to the total imports of the United States. Therefore, there is a growth in the trade deficit of the country.
