Question

do you think it is right to amend the constitution in a frequent manner? Justify your answer with suitable example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amending the Constitution of India is the process of making changes to the nation's fundamental law or supreme law. The procedure of amendment in the constitution is laid down in Part XX (Article 368) of the Constitution of India. This procedure ensures the sanctity of the Constitution of India and keeps a check on arbitrary power of the Parliament of India.

Answer 2

No, I do not think it is right to amend the constitution in a frequent manner

Explanation:

• The architects of our Constitution sought to strike a balance. The Constitution could be changed if necessary. However, it must be shielded from needless and regular changes. They wanted a 'flexible' (that was open to changes) but, at the same time, 'rigid' (resistance to change) Constitution. In other words.
• The constitution's makers knew that the Constitution may have  error or mistakes, and that the Constitution cannot be wholly free of errors. Whenever such errors were discovered, they wanted the Constitution to be amended and eliminate the errors. Then there were a few provisions that were temporary in nature, which it had been agreed to change later as the new parliament was elected.
• Although, at the same time , the constitution set up a federal polity  and thus, without the consent of the States, the privileges and powers of States could not be modified. Some of the other elements of the Constitution were so central to the Constitution's spirit that the Constitutional leaders wanted to protect them from change. These provisions had to be made rigid.
