Option 3 : 1 and 4 only

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e 1 and 4 only.

This question can be easily solved by elimination.
Amendment to the Constitution can only be initiated by a bill in the Parliament and NOT in the State Legislature. Hence, Statement 3 is NOT correct. So, eliminating Statement 3, we can arrive at Option 2, i.e 1 and 3 only.
The Constitution is the supreme (or the highest) law of the land. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
- The laws enacted by the Centre and the states must conform to its provisions.
- Otherwise, they can be declared invalid by the Supreme Court or the high courts through their power of judicial review.
The Preamble is neither a source of power to legislature nor a prohibition upon the powers of the legislature. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT correct.
The Constitution divided the powers between the Centre and the states in terms of the Union List, State List and Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule. Hence, there is a clear demarcation of power between the Centre and State Governments. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
Independent Judiciary is a federal feature of the Constitution and NOT a unitary feature. Hence, Statement 5 is NOT correct.
- The Constitution establishes an independent judiciary headed by the Supreme Court for two purposes: one, to protect the supremacy of the Constitution by exercising the power of judicial review; and two, to settle the disputes between the Centre and the states or between the states.
- The Constitution contains various measures like the security of tenure to judges, fixed service conditions, and so on to make the judiciary independent of the government.
