It describes India as a <strong>Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic<\/strong> and highlights the ideals of Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Questions based on the Preamble commonly focus on its keywords, constitutional status and changes introduced through amendments. The terms <strong>Socialist<\/strong>, <strong>Secular<\/strong> and <strong>Integrity<\/strong> were added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-fundamental-rights\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Fundamental_Rights\"><\/span>What are Fundamental Rights?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundamental Rights are constitutional protections provided mainly under <strong>Part III of the Constitution<\/strong>.

The Council of Ministers aids and advises the President. Article 74 provides for a Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister to aid and advise the President. Important topics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Appointment of the Prime Minister<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Formation of the Council of Ministers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cabinet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collective responsibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relationship with the President<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Role in Parliament<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Policy-making and administration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-role-of-the-vice-president-of-india\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_role_of_the_Vice_President_of_India\"><\/span>What is the role of the Vice President of India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vice President occupies an important constitutional position and also serves as the <strong>ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha<\/strong>. Questions may be asked about the election, qualifications, term, removal and parliamentary role of the Vice President. Candidates should particularly distinguish between the electoral processes of the President and Vice President, as they differ in important ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-the-judiciary-function-in-indian-polity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_Judiciary_function_in_Indian_Polity\"><\/span>How does the Judiciary function in Indian Polity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Judiciary safeguards the Constitution, interprets laws and protects constitutional rights. The judicial system includes the Supreme Court, High Courts and subordinate courts. Important Indian Polity topics related to the Judiciary include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supreme Court<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High Courts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appointment and removal of judges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original jurisdiction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appellate jurisdiction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advisory jurisdiction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Judicial Review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public Interest Litigation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constitutional Remedies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writ jurisdiction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Article 124 deals with the establishment and constitution of the Supreme Court, while Article 214 provides for High Courts for states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Judicial_Review\"><\/span>What is Judicial Review?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Judicial Review refers to the power of constitutional courts to examine laws and executive actions and determine whether they conform to the Constitution. It forms an important part of the constitutional system of checks and balances and is closely connected with the supremacy of the Constitution. Questions on Judicial Review may also be linked with landmark constitutional cases and the Basic Structure Doctrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Basic_Structure_Doctrine\"><\/span>What is the Basic Structure Doctrine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Basic Structure Doctrine limits Parliament&#8217;s power to amend the Constitution by holding that certain fundamental constitutional features cannot be destroyed through amendment. The doctrine is closely associated with the <strong>Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala<\/strong> judgment of 1973. Concepts associated with the basic structure include features such as constitutional supremacy, rule of law, judicial review, secularism, federalism and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-centre-state-relations-in-indian-polity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Centre-State_Relations_in_Indian_Polity\"><\/span>What are Centre-State Relations in Indian Polity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India follows a federal constitutional structure in which powers are distributed between the Union and the States.

Rural local government operates through Panchayati Raj institutions, while urban areas are governed through municipalities. The <strong>73rd Constitutional Amendment Act<\/strong> strengthened Panchayati Raj institutions, while the <strong>74th Constitutional Amendment Act<\/strong> dealt with urban local bodies.
