(b) Swiss
(c) A combination of British and American
(d) American
Ans: (a) British
Explanation:
The Constituent Assembly of India adopted the British model for electing the lower house of the Parliament, known as the Lok Sabha. The British model is characterized by a first-past-the-post system, where the candidate receiving the highest number of votes in a constituency is declared the winner. Under this system, the country is divided into constituencies, and voters in each constituency elect a representative to the Parliament. This model was chosen by the framers of the Indian Constitution, influenced by the parliamentary system followed by the United Kingdom, which was the former colonial ruler of India.
