CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

INTRODUCTION
Every state has a constitution of its own,like every game having some rules of
its own. Football has one set of rules and the cricket has a different set of rules.
These rules for the states are called the constitutions. These rules are there to
fix the structure of the supreme government. Every state must have a
constitution, since every state functions on the basis functions on the basis of
certain rules and principles.

WHAT IS CONSTITUTION?
In the broadest sense, a constitution is the fundamental body of rules
governing the affiars of an organsied group. Thus a parliament, a church,a
social club or trade union may operate under the terms of a formal written
document called the constitution.
The provision made in the constitution are considered to be basic. So the
presiding of a club must hold that a proposal is out of order if it runns contrary
to the provisions of its constitution.
Every national state has a constitution for the purpose of operating its
important institituions according to some fundamental body of rules. In that
sense, the only alternative to a constitution is a jungle life or a condition of
anarchy.

INDIAN CONSTITUTION :
The constitution of India came into force on 26th Janurary, 1950.At the time of
its adoption, the Constitution contained 395 Articles and 8 Schedules and was
about 145,000 words long, making it the longest national constitution to ever
be adopted. Every Article in the Constituion was depated by the members of
the Constituent was depated by the members of the constituent Assembly,
who sat for 11 sessions and 166 days to frame the constuitution, over a period
of 2 years and 11 months.
The section contains every Article in the amended Constituion of India(as of
2020), with its corresponding Article in the Draft Constitution of
India,1948.Each article also contain a summary of the debates on that Article
in the Constituent Assembly. The Article are grouped into 22 different parts,
which reflects how they are organised in the text of the Constitution of India,
1950.

CONSTITUTION IN DIFFERENT VIEWS:


The Constituition is the fundamental law that only determines the powers and
responsibilities of the state but reflects the will of the people also. For
R.M.Malcver, constitution is “that law which governs the state and which
represents the will beyond that of the state.”
According to Herman Finer: “Constitutions are codes of rules which aspire to
regulate the allocation of functions, powers and duties among the various
agencies and offices of the government and define the relationship between
these and the public”. The constitution may be a single document and it may
be also some rules, and also some unwritten conventions.

PARAMETERS OF CONSTITUTION
A constitution should possess the following attributes:
(i) It should lay down the powers of the govermentand the different
organs of the government like the legislature, the executive and
the judiciary.
(ii) In a federation the constitution distributes the powers between
the judicial authority and the units.
(iii) The constitution also deals with the rights and duties of the
citizens.

ARTICLE OF CONSTITUTION
The schedules to the constitution, which are now in number, elaborate on
government policy or rules in relation to specifc Articles of the Constitution.
The original copies of the Indian Constitution were written in Hindi and
English. Each member of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the
Constituion, one in Hindi and the other in English.
FUNDAMENTAL OF CONSTITUTION:
The fundamental of the Indian Constitution are contained in the Preamble
which gurantees its citizens social, economical and political Justice: Liberty of
thought, expression, belief, faith and workship: Equality of status and
opportunity, and to promote among them all Fraternity assuring the diginity of
the individuals.

CONCLUSION:
A Constitution needs to be stable. It should not be altered too frequently, and
probably not too easily. As the supreme source of power, and the fundamental
framework for a nation, s political and legal institutions, it has as permanence
that ordinary laws or Acts of Parliament do not have.
So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by
the law is of no avail to you.”-B R Ambedkar
