Indian constitution is party rigid and party flexible. explain

Answer 1

The Constitution of India is neither wholly rigid nor wholly flexible. It is partly rigid and partly flexible. It is because of the fact that for the purpose of amendment, our constitution has been divided into three parts:

(i) Certain provisions of the constitution can be amended by a simple majority in Parliament. (Flexible)

(ii) Certain provisions can be amended by a two-third majority in Parliament and ratified by at least fifty percent of the states. (Rigid)

(iii) The remaining provisions can be amended by Parliament by two-third majority. (Rigid)

(ii) The Federal Provision of the Constitution cannot be amended easily. e.g., the division of powers between the centre and the states.

(iii) In such cases, a constitutional amendment must be passed by the two-third members of the Parliament and ratified by one-half of the states before sending the bill to the Parliament.

(iv) In such cases, only two-third majorities of members' presence and voting is needed. Consent of the states is not needed.
