Citizenship can be changed through
proclamation
residence
renunciation
announcement
Correct answer is C
Renunciation is the voluntary act of giving up one's citizenship or nationality for another. It is the opposite of naturalization–whereby a person voluntarily acquires a citizenship, and is distinct from denaturalization–where the loss of citizenship is forced by a state.
Which of the following is a function of a head of state?
Settles cases
Arbitrates electoral petitions
Creates new constitutions
Receives foreign dignitaries
Correct answer is D
Depending on the country's form of government and separation of powers, the head of state may be a ceremonial figurehead or concurrently the head of government.

Autonomus units are more powerful than the centre

Usually created by a treaty, confederations of states tend to be established for dealing with critical issues, such as defense, foreign relations, internal trade or currency, with the general government being required to provide support for all its members.
The institution connected with law adjudication is the
judiciary
police
government
executive
Correct answer is A
The judiciary is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in the name of the state. The judiciary can also be thought of as the mechanism for the resolution of disputes. Under the doctrine of the separation of powers, the judiciary generally does not make statutory law or enforce law, but rather interprets law and applies it to the facts of each case.
The body charged with the responsibility of preparing a new constitution in a country is the
electoral commission
constituent assembly
judicial service commission
electoral college
Correct answer is B
A constituent assembly or constitutional assembly is a body or assembly of popularly elected representatives composed for the purpose of drafting or adopting a constitutional-type document. The constituent assembly is a subset of a constitutional convention elected entirely by popular vote; that is, all constituent assemblies are constitutional conventions, but a constitutional convention is not necessarily a constituent assembly. As the fundamental document constituting a state, a constitution cannot normally be modified or amended by the state's normal legislative procedures; instead a constitutional convention or a constituent assembly, the rules for which are normally laid down in the constitution, must be set up. A constituent assembly is usually set up for its specific purpose, which it carries out in a relatively short time, after which the assembly is dissolved.
