Question

Answer 2

The given passage implies that it is important to have separate state laws to govern the state according to the conditions that are unique to every state.

Explanation:

• The reason the states need to have some laws of their own is that they are subject to certain sets of conditions that are unique to themselves.
• These conditions need to be administered through the implementation of special laws and by taking special actions.
• For example, in a state that has a large forest cover and the state animal of the state is on the verge of extinction, the state can make special laws for the protection of that particular species.
