Here are two questions for IAS Mains Daily Answer Writing Practice. There would be more questions coming tomorrow.

1. Explain the constitution, mandate and working of the GST Council as envisaged by the Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act, 2016. How far its functioning has strengthened cooperative federalism in India?                                                                                                                                                                   

2. Indian constitution, like Indian civilization, is an amalgamation of ideas. Elucidate.
