Answer:
The 3 pillars of Democracy are
1) Executive (Government)
2) Legislature (Parliament & State Assemblies, etc)
3) Judiciary (Supreme Court, High Court & Other Judicial centres)
The Constitution of India is mostly a written one. The legislature, the executive and the judiciary have well defined areas of responsibility and powers. They should not overlap. Stepping on other's toes may spell trouble.
THE CONSTITUTION of a country is sacrosanct. It should not be tampered with except through the due process of law as provided in the constitution itself. Every constitution in democracies of the world have been amended from time to time to keep pace with time. As a matter of fact, the will of the people is supreme. If people wish to change their own constitution handed down to them generation after generation, pray what can stop them from doing so.
The Constitution of India is mostly a written one. The Constitution of the United Kingdom is, generally speaking, an unwritten one and is based on convention and tradition respected by one and all. The three pillars of democracy- legislature, executive and judiciary ensure that the constitutional provisions are followed both in letter and spirit. A few years ago, the Constitution of India was amended by the legislature through due process provided in the constitution itself. However, the Supreme Court of India, the highest court of the country, ruled that since the said amendment altered the basic character of the constitution, it was ultra vires and can’t be implemented. With a view to change the basic character of the constitution, the executive or the legislature will have to go to the people with a specific agenda and obtain the mandate to amend the basic character of the constitution. In other words, it would amount to forming another constituent assembly to take a relook at the articles concerned and re-frame them. Thus, the basic character of the present constitution can be changed by another constituent assembly bearing the mandate of the people to do so. Well, it has not happened so far. The procedure was too cumbersome and was given up by the activists concerned.
