[#1001] The division of power and Independence of judiciary are two important features of-
Correct Answer

(B) Federal character of government

Explanation

Solution: The question talks about two key things: division of power and independence of the judiciary . Division of power means that government responsibilities are shared, usually between a central authority and regional or state authorities. Independence of the judiciary means that courts are free to make decisions without influence from other parts of the government (like the executive or legislature). Now, let's look at the options: Option A: Democratic character of government: While democracy values things like free and fair elections and citizen participation, it doesn't *necessarily* require a division of power or an independent judiciary in the same way that another option does. So this is less specific. Option B: Federal character of government: A federal system is specifically designed to divide power between a central government and states/regions. Also, an independent judiciary is vital in a federal system to resolve disputes between the different levels of government and to ensure that no level oversteps its constitutional boundaries. This is a very strong fit. Option C: Socialist character of government: Socialism primarily focuses on economic and social equality and often involves government control or ownership of resources. It doesn't inherently guarantee a division of power or judicial independence. Option D: Unitary character of government: A unitary system is the opposite of federal. Power is centralized in one national government. This definitely doesn't fit. Therefore, the best answer is Option B: Federal character of government because division of power and an independent judiciary are core features of a federal system.
