Answer 2

Indian constitution is not fully rigid and flexible. It is called rigid because some ideals such as sovereignty, secularism etc cannot be changed.
It is called flexible because there is a provision for amendments. Some rules can be changed by the parliament .some articles can be changed if the people demand so.
So,it is partly rigid and partly flexible.
