Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
A Constitution (Amendment) Bill may be introduced in either House of Parliament, not just the Lok Sabha, making statement 1 wrong. Amendments affecting the federal structure must be ratified by at least one-half of the State legislatures, not all, so statement 2 is also wrong. Therefore, neither statement is correct.
