                                    2. Elucidate the constitutional provisions under which (1) Parliament can enact a law on subject of state list (2) Parliament can create new All India Services (3) Parliament can abolish existing All India Service.

                                    4. Cooperative federalism is mere talk. The trend towards centralization of authority is still continued in India as evident from migration of various subjects from state list to concurrent list and concurrent to union list. Critically discuss this statement.
                                    5. The very concept of cooperative federalism implies a strong centre, and state governments are largely administrative agencies for central policies. Critically discuss.

                                    7. The listing of 'Public Order' in the state list under seventh schedule of the constitution denies the parliament / central government any legislative / policy-making role in matters relating to Public Order.
