describe the working of constituent assembly.
Answers
The Constituent Assembly
framed the Constitution which does not reflect the views of its members alone
but expresses a broad consensus of its time. Till now no large social group or
political party has questioned the legitimacy of the Constitution. This is a
remarkable achievement for any constitution.
The Assembly represented members from all the regions
of the country, from different language groups, castes, classes, religions and
occupations.
The Constituent Assembly worked in a systematic, open
and consensual manner. First basic principles were decided and a Drafting Committee
under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar prepared a draft Constitution for
discussion. It was discussed clause by clause. More than two thousand
amendments were considered. There were discussions for 114 days for more than
three years. The 'Constituent Assembly Debates' were recorded and preserved.
They form 12 bulky volumes and provide the rationale behind every provision OF THE CONSTITUTION
