This is the unit where the source is a legal instrument rather than a report, and that changes how it should be read. Most of the answers are in the Constitution of India itself, in Part VI, and the rest are in state Acts and the institutions' own records.

Three rules govern every page in this unit.

An article number is part of the answer, not decoration. RPSC asks which article vests the executive power of the State, which one caps the size of the Council of Ministers, which one creates the Advocate General. Every constitutional claim on these pages carries its article, and the article is quoted from the Constitution as it stands rather than paraphrased from a textbook.

What the Constitution says and what actually happens are different facts, and both are examinable. Article 154 vests the executive power of the State in the Governor. Article 163 requires him to act on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. Neither sentence is the whole truth on its own, and an answer that gives only one has answered half the question.

Where a printed provision has been struck down, the page says so. The Constitution's current print still carries the National Judicial Appointments Commission wording in Article 217, with a footnote recording that the amendment which inserted it was struck down by the Supreme Court on 16 October 2015. A page that quoted the text without the footnote would be quoting a dead letter as live law.
