Solution
- The Indian Constitution has a three-fold distribution of legislative power, which contains three lists: The Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List. The subjects that are included in the Union List are those that are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Union Government. Some of the subjects that are included in the Union List are:
- Defense of the country
- Foreign affairs and relations
- Banking, currency, and coinage
- Railways and air transport
- Posts and telegraphs
- Census and statistics
- Copyrights, patents, and trademarks
- The subject "Education" comes under the Concurrent List, which means that both the Union Government and the State Governments have the power to make laws on this subject. The Concurrent List contains subjects that are of common interest to both the Union and the State Governments.
