Option 2 : Germany

The correct answer is Germany.

Explanation:

The concept of suspension of fundamental rights during an emergency is taken from Germany.

There are three types of emergencies: 

  • National Emergency
  • Failure of constitutional machinery in states
  • Financial Emergency

National Emergency: Article 352 of the Indian Constitution talks about the national emergency. A national emergency is imposed whereby there is a grave threat to the security of India or any of its territories due to war, external aggression, or armed rebellion. Such emergency shall be imposed by the president on the basis of a written request by the council of ministers headed by the Prime Minister.

State Emergency: Article 356 talks about the failure of constitutional machinery in a state also known as the President’s rule. If the president on Governor’s report or otherwise is satisfied that the situation has arisen that the government can’t be carried in accordance with the constitutional provisions then, he may issue a State emergency.

Financial Emergency: The president under Article 360 of the constitution has the power to declare a financial emergency if he is satisfied that the financial stability or the credit of India or any part of its territory is threatened. It has to be laid before both the Houses of Parliament and ceases to operate at the expiration of two months unless meanwhile approved by the resolution of Houses.
