Answer 2

Explanation:

Constitution does not reflect the views of its members alone. It expresses a broad

consensus of its time. Many countries of the world have had to rewrite their Constitution

afresh because the basic rules were not accepted to all major social groups or political

parties.

Over the last half a century, several groups have questioned some provisions of the

Constitution. But no large social group or political party has ever questioned the legitimacy

of the Constitution itself. This is an unusual achievement for any constitution. The second

reason for accepting the Constitution is that the Constituent Assembly represented the

people of India. There was no universal adult franchise at that time. So, the Constituent

Assembly could not have been chosen directly by all the people of India.

The way in which the Constituent Assembly worked gives sanctity to the Constitution. The

Constituent Assembly worked in a systematic, open and consensual manner. First some

basic principles were decided and agreed upon. Then a Drafting Committee chaired by Dr.

B.R. Ambedkar prepared a draft constitution for discussion. Several rounds of thorough

discussion took place on the Draft Constitution, clause by clause. More than two thousand

amendments were considered.

Every document presented, and every word spoken in the Constituent Assembly has been

recorded and preserved. These are called ‘Constituent Assembly Debates’. These debates

provide the rationale behind every provision of the Constitution. These are used to interpret

the meaning of the Constitution.
