Constitution of India
India, also known as Bharat, is a Union of States. It is a Sovereign
Socialist Secular Democratic Republic with a parliamentary system of
government. The Republic is governed in terms of the Constitution of
India which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November,
1949 and came into force on 26th January, 1950. The Constitution
provides for a Parliamentary form of government which is federal in
structure with certain unitary features. The constitutional head of the
Executive of the Union is the President. As per Article 79 of the
Constitution of India, the council of the Parliament of the Union
consists of the President and two Houses known as the Council of States
(Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha). Article 74(1) of
the Constitution provides that there shall be a Council of Ministers
with the Prime Minister as its head to aid and advise the President, who
shall exercise his/her functions in accordance to the advice. The real
executive power is thus vested in the Council of Ministers with the
Prime Minister as its head.
