Question

explain five major factors which contributed to the making of our constitution

Answer 1

3. The rulers of the princely states were free to decide

whether they wanted to merge with India or Pakistan or remain independent.

4. In 1928, Motilal Nehru and other Congress leaders drafted

a constitution for India. The resolution of the Karachi session of the Indian

National Congress, in 1931 dwelt on how independent India's constitution should

look like.  These documents included universal

adult franchise, right to freedom and equality and protection of the rights of

minorities. Thus all leaders accepted some basic values much before the

formation of the Constitution.

5. The familiarity with the political institutions of

colonial rule helped to develop an agreement over the institutional design.

Elections were held all over British India in 1937, to Provincial Legislatures

and Ministries.
