Govt of India Act 1935📜

1. Federal Scheme
2. Judiciary
3. Office of Governor
4. Ordinance Power: President and Governor
5. Administration at Centre & State Level
6. Emergency Powers (2/17)

How to remember? 🤔

Create logical story:

GoI 1935 brought in 'Federal Scheme'. Which elements will make a strong federation?
- Judiciary
- Administration
- Governor (as rep of center in states)
- Ordinance Power: Pres & Gov

Impose Emergency, if things go down south!❌

USA 🇺🇸

- President as executive head
- Vice President as RS Chair
- President Impeachment and Judges Removal
- Supreme Court, Judicial Review and Independence of Judiciary
- Written Const. + FRs (4/17)

How to remember? 🤔

Use some contextual learning:
POTUS and VP Harris as Senate head are easy to remember. Think of POTUS Trump's impeachment and link it with judiciary (removal + independence)

Easy to correlate and keep in mind! :D

Hogya yaad!💪😎(5/17)

UK 🇬🇧

- Parliamentary System + Bicameral Parliament
- PM and Council of Ministers
- Writ + Rule of Law
- Single Citizenship
- CAG (6/17)

How to remember?🤔

UK's inheritance in all these matters are a no brainer considering our colonial past. Read these ones, you'd be alright!

Hogya yaad!💪😎(7/17)

Canada 🇨🇦

- Governor Appointment + Residuary Powers
- Advisory Jurisdiction of SC
- Federal System (8/17)

How to remember? 🤔

As a former colony itself, Canada needs 'advices' and 'residuary powers'.

In this 'federal system', let the 'governor appointement' be done for the provinces/states

Hogya yaad!💪😎(9/17)

Ireland 🇮🇪

- DPSP
- President's election and RS Nominations by President (10/17)

How to remember? 🤔

Ireland taught our state 'directive principles' to 'elect President' who in turn nominates some members to Rajya Sabha

Hogya yaad!💪😎(11/17)

Australia 🇦🇺

- Cooperative Federalism
- Concurrent List
- Joint Sitting of Parliament (12/17)

How to remember?🤔

Aus is a cat-dog country, everything here is about cooperation and mutual existence. Concurrent, Cooperative Fed or Joint Sitting, everything!

Hogya yaad!💪😎(13/17)

South Africa 🇿🇦

- Constitution Amendment Procedure
- RS MPs election

How to remember? 🤔
You can't amend Constitution without electing RS MPs from 'South'

Hogya yaad!💪😎(14/17)

USSR 🇷🇺

- Fundamental Duties

How to remember? 🤔
Ye toh yaad rakh lo bhai, kamal hai! (15/17)

Weimar Constitution of Germany 🇩🇪

- FR suspension during emergency

How to remember?🤔
Hitler suspended a lot of rights, yeah?

Hogya yaad!💪😎(16/17)
