Discuss (b) Joint Committee

The constitutional map (Articles 56–59; 109; 221; 231):1. Three lists-and-schedules design: exclusive federal (Schedule 5), exclusive provincial (Schedule 6), exclusive local (Schedule 8); concurrent federation-province (Schedule 7); concurrent all-three (Schedule 9); residual power to the federation (Article 58);2. The supremacy rules: provincial laws inconsistent with federal law void (Article 57); local laws inconsistent with federal or provincial law void; the federal parliament's power defined by Schedules 5, 7 and 9 (Article 109); the local assemblies' by 8 and 9 (Article 221(2));3. The harmonizing devices: the concurrent-lists' coordination duties (the province coordinating with GoN — Article 162(4)); the petition-legislation device (two or more provinces may ask the Federal Parliament to legislate Schedule-6 matters for them — Article 231(3)); the pre-emption logic of uniformity laws (Article 231(1)-(2));4. The fiscal counterpart (Article 60): revenue lists and transfer machinery — legislative power's twin.
