Sharing of Power between Union and State Governments

Sharing of Power between Union and State Governments: Our Constitution determines the extent of the sharing of power between the Union Government and the State Government and it is the basic structure of the Constitution.

The Parliament alone cannot change this. Any change to it has to be first passed by both the Houses of Parliament with at least two-third majority. Then, it has to be ratified by the legislatures of at least half of the total states.

In case of any dispute regarding the division of powers, the High Courts and the Supreme Court make a decision. Both Union and State Governments have the power to raise resources by levying taxes in order to carry on the government and the responsibilities assigned to each of them.
