Q. Consider the following statements regarding the federal division of power:

1. Power can be shared among governments at different levels—a general government for the entire country and governments at the provincial or regional level.
2. This is called federal division of power.
3. The same principle cannot be extended to levels of government lower than the State Government.

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Statements 1 and 2 are correct as power sharing among various government levels constitutes federal division of power. However, statement 3 is incorrect as federal principles can be extended to governments lower than the State, such as municipalities and panchayats. India, for example, implements federalism at three levels: union, state, and local governments.
