The structural design of Indian federalism under Article 1 defines the territory layout. Which of the following constitutional maxims accurately captures the relationship between the Union and the States in India?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Indian Union is famously described as an indestructible Union of destructible States. Under Article 3, the Parliament has the unilateral power to alter the boundaries, names, or areas of any state without their consent, meaning states do not have the right to territorial integrity. However, no state can secede from the Union, making the federation itself permanent.
