Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: The pairing "Finance Commission — United States of America" is not correctly matched.
Explanation:
Why the Finance Commission — United States of America pairing is incorrect: The Finance Commission is a constitutional institution created by the Indian Constitution (Article 280) to recommend the distribution of tax revenues between the Union and the States. It is not a direct borrowing from the U.S. constitution; the U.S. does not have an analogous constitutional Finance Commission for federal revenue distribution in the same way.
Other pairings (correct): Directive Principles of State Policy — Ireland: India adopted the idea of non-justiciable directive principles from the Irish Constitution to guide social and economic policy.
Emergency Provisions — Germany: Emergency provisions in the Indian Constitution drew inspiration from strong emergency measures present in other constitutions, notably elements traceable to German constitutional experience.
Parliamentary System — Britain: The parliamentary form of government in India is modeled on the British Westminster system (cabinet responsibility, collective responsibility, etc.).
Summary: The incorrect match is the Finance Commission paired with the United States of America; the Finance Commission is an institutional provision of the Indian Constitution and not a direct borrowing from the U.S. system.
