 Important Indian Polity Notes - Parliamentary and Federal System 
==============================

The lower house of the Parliament can be dissolved by the President on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. Therefore, in a Parliamentary form of government, the executive enjoys the right to get the legislature dissolved.

Flexible Constitution provision is not related to the federal government. For eg: the power to initiate an amendment to the Constitution lies only with the Centre.
