"The new Constitution establishes, indeed a system of Government which is at the most quasi-federal, almost devolutionary in character, a unitary state with subsidiary federal features rather than the federal state with unitary features" said by
Answer: A
The description of the Indian Constitution as quasi-federal, a unitary state with subsidiary federal features rather than a federal state with unitary features, is attributed to Dr. K.C. Wheare, the author of Federal Government. He judged the Constitution by the test of a classical federation, in which the centre and the units are coordinate and independent, and found that India's strong centre, the power to reorganise states and the emergency provisions made it unitary in spirit. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jawaharlal Nehru took part in framing the Constitution, but the phrase is Wheare's, so option A is right.
