10 MCQ on Indian President

On 15 August 1947, India gained independence from the British, initially as a dominion within the Commonwealth of Nations, with George VI as king, represented in the country by a governor-general. Nonetheless, the Constituent Assembly of India, led by B. R. Ambedkar, began the process of drafting a completely new constitution for the country. The Indian Constitution was finally enacted on November 26, 1949, and went into effect on January 26, 1950, establishing India as a republic. The offices of monarch and governor-general were abolished, and Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India.

The Indian constitution vests the president with the responsibility and authority to defend and protect the Indian Constitution and the rule of law. Any action taken by the executive or legislative branches of the constitution will invariably become law only after the president's assent. Unconstitutional executive or legislative actions shall not be accepted by the president. The president is the first, most powerful, and most prompt defender of the constitution (Article 60), with pre-emptive power to ensure constitutionality in executive or legislative actions. The role of the judiciary in upholding the Indian Constitution is the second line of defense in nullifying any unconstitutional actions of the Indian Union's executive and legislative entities.
