Answer: Jammu and Kashmir
Notes: Article 370 granted special autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It limited Parliament's power to make laws for the state. It was drafted in Part XXI of the Constitution: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions. Article 370 restricted the central government from applying constitutional provisions to Kashmir without the state government's concurrence. It allowed the state to have its own constitution, flag and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The article was negotiated between the Indian government and the then ruler of Jammu and Kashmir, Maharaja Hari Singh, in 1947 as Kashmir acceded to India. Article 370 could only be amended with the concurrence of the Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir. Since that Assembly was dissolved in 1957, the Article was considered permanent. In August 2019, Article 370 was effectively abrogated when a presidential order superseded the existing provision and made all provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to Jammu and Kashmir. The state was also reorganized into two union territories - Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
