How to amend the constitution?
Answers
Answer:
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures
Constitution can be amended, as in Article 368 of the Constitution gives Parliament the power to amend the Constitution and its procedures.
According to the procedure described in Article 368, parliament can amend the Constitution by adding new provisions or removing or replacing any of the provisions.
Here I'm going to describe two possible procedures required for amendation of constitution:-
1) Ordinary law:-
A bill passed by a simple majority of Parliament becomes law upon the assent of the President. Under this scenario, these amendments can be made on the prior approval given by The President:
- Creation of new states,
- or change in territory, extent and name.
2) Amendment by Special Majority:-
Majority can leads to amendation! If the bill is passed by each House of Parliament with a majority of the total members and 2/3 votes of the attendance and voting members, hence the amendment would becomes the part of constitution as soon as the President will approve.
