Subject: Constitutional Governance - II| 6 credits|
Session: January to May, 2020 | Faculty: Sayantani Bagchi |
Class: BA/BBA LLB II Semester
A. INTRODUCTION
This course focuses on Constitutional Law concerning the structure of governmental

institutions and their powers. In continuation of the earlier study about Constitutional Law in
general, this approach is designed to expose students to diverse kinds of judicial cases in
order to understand the legal analyses employed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India
within different political contexts, to understand the extent of exercise of power by the three
wings of the Government, i.e. the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary, and the
enduring tussle between them, especially in the current political setup in India. The course
further shall highlight the manner in which Indian Federalism works through the division of
powers between the Centre and the States in India and shall also discuss the power and
procedure of amendment of the Indian Constitution.
B. COURSE OUTCOMES
At the end of the course students will be able to
[CO. 1 ] have an idea about the different systems of governance in the world and the
peculiarities of the Indian governance setup with respect to them;
[CO. 2 ] understand Indian Federalism and division of powers between the Centre and the
States;
[CO. 3 ] understand judicial appointments and role of the Judiciary in the Indian polity;
[CO. 4] understand the dynamic nature of the Indian Constitution and the debate on its
amendability;
[CO. 5 ] demonstrate a practical understanding of Constitutional Governance by recognising
commonly encountered issues and by applying relevant standards and rules when presented
in hypothetical and unfamiliar fact patterns;

examine the stories and narratives within which law is practised. Legal Drafting is taught at a
preliminary level to help students learn the nuances of legal writing.

the demand curve.
[CO.3] establish the link between production costs and supply
[CO.4] discuss the upward slope of the supply curve and factors which shift the
supply curve.
[CO.5] describe how households (demand) and businesses (supply) interact to
determine price and quantity of a good produced.
[CO.6] discuss the concept of elasticity of demand and supply with case studies.
[CO.7] apply economic reasoning to determine consumer behaviour using cardinal
and ordinal approach.
[CO.8] develop cost functions from production functions.
