Introduction
The Indian democracy, established in 1949, adopted a unique structure – a quasi-federal system. This intricate framework rests upon three pillars: Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary. Within the legislative domain, a fascinating interplay of power distribution exists between the Central Government (Union) and the State Government. Schedule VII of the Constitution serves as the architect of this division, meticulously crafting three lists: the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List. Each list meticulously demarcates the subject matters on which each level of government can enact legislation. Imagine it like a building with separate rules for common areas (Union List), individual apartments (State List), and shared amenities (Concurrent List). This clear division ensures both the Union and the states have autonomy within their designated areas.
