The Parliament can make any law for the whole or any part of India for implementing international treaties
- Awith the consent of all the States
- Bwith the consent of the majority of States
- Cwith the consent of the States concerned
- Dwithout the consent of any StateCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because of the specific provisions mentioned in Article 253 of the Indian Constitution. This Article empowers the Parliament to make laws for the whole or any part of India to implement any treaty, agreement, or convention with any other country or international body.
Under this Article, the legislative power of the Parliament is absolute and overrides the distribution of powers between the Union and the States. This means the Parliament can legislate even on subjects listed in the State List if it is necessary to fulfill international obligations. To exercise this power, the Parliament does not require the consent of any state, regardless of whether the law affects one state or all of them. This ensures that the Union government can effectively represent the country and fulfill its commitments on the global stage.
