How does the Privy Purse system relate to the Twenty-sixth Amendment Act, 1971?
The Privy Purse system was related to the Twenty-sixth Amendment Act, 1971 because it abolished the privy purses of rulers. The act omitted Article 297 from the Constitution, which had allowed for the payment of privy purses to the rulers of former princely states in India. This change was made to reduce financial burdens on the government and consolidate the power of the central government by ending special privileges for certain groups or individuals.
