Explanation

President's Rule (State Emergency) under Article 356 can be imposed when there's a breakdown of constitutional machinery in a state. This article allows the President to assume all functions of the state government if the state cannot operate in accordance with the Constitution. The other articles listed (352 for National Emergency, 360 for Financial Emergency, 370 for special status to J&K) are unrelated to state constitutional breakdown.
