Can you explain the core idea behind Articles 280-282?
The core idea behind Articles 280-282 is to establish a financial mechanism for the sharing of resources between the central government and state governments, ensuring a fair distribution of revenues. Article 280 establishes the Finance Commission, which recommends how the revenues should be divided between the union and states. Article 281 requires the President to lay these recommendations before both houses of Parliament with an explanatory memorandum on actions taken. Article 282 allows the central government or state governments to make grants for public purposes, even if it is not a subject matter where laws can be made by them, ensuring flexibility in resource allocation for public projects.
