Context: We are going to compare Article 356 of the Indian Constitution with the law of USA which gives power to the President to deploy military in the US States. Actually in Los Angles, widespread protest is going on after arrest made by US immigration and custom enforcement. In response Mr Trump has deployed troops there. According to Article II , President has constitutional authority to protect federal property and also section 12406 of Title 10 of US gives him such power. He has not used "Insurrection act" which he should have used. This act permits President to deploy military during civil unrest. But he has not used this because of potential of abuse in this law as the law is subjective and gives wide ranging powers. What is Title 10? Answer: Title 10 of the United States Code outlines the role of United States Armed Forces. It provides the legal basis for the roles, missions and organization of each of the services as well as the United States Department of Defense.
