• C. \( \text{Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect} \)
• D. \( \text{Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct} \)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's analyze each statement: Statement I: Constitution is the frame work for the governance of a country which delegates power and authority to the executive, legislative and judiciary. This statement is correct. A constitution serves as the fundamental legal framework of a country. It outlines the structure of the government, including the three main branches: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary, and defines the powers and authorities of each. It also establishes the relationship between these branches and the citizens, and often includes fundamental rights and duties. Statement II: It serves a country in maintaining good relationships with her neighboring countries. This statement is incorrect. While a country's constitution may reflect its values and principles, which can indirectly influence its foreign policy and relationships with neighboring countries, the primary role of a constitution is internal governance. Maintaining good relationships with neighboring countries is primarily the domain of a country's foreign policy, which is formulated and implemented by the executive branch, often guided by international laws, treaties, and strategic interests, not directly by the constitution itself. Therefore, Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
