Q23
Indian PolityMaking of the Constitution & Salient Features
From which country was the idea of 'Concurrent List' in the Indian Constitution borrowed?
  1. a.Japan
  2. b.United States
  3. c.Australia
  4. d.China

Answer: (C) Australia

The Concurrent List, along with freedom of trade and commerce and the joint sitting provision, was borrowed from the Australian Constitution. The USA gave judicial review and fundamental rights, and Japan the 'procedure established by law'; China is not a source. Same question repeat of Q57.
