Question

Make a report or importance of constitution in a democracy

Answer 1

The Constitution is important because it protects individual freedom, and its fundamental principles govern the United States. The Constitution places the government's power in the hands of the citizens. It limits the power of the government and establishes a system of checks and balances.

The primary function of a constitution is to lay out the basic structure of the government according to which the people are to be governed. It is the constitution of a country, which establishes the three main organs of the government, namely, the legislature, executive and judiciary.The constitution of a country not only defines the powers allotted to each of the three main organs, but it also significantly makes a clear demarcation of the responsibilities assigned to each of them. It effectively regulates the relationship between these organs as well as the relationship between the government and its people.Since the country’s constitution stands superior to all the laws framed within the territorial precincts of the country, any law enacted by the ruling government has to be in conformity with the concerned constitution. As such, the citizens would, in turn, be abiding by not just the law, but also working in sync with the demarcations of the constitution laid by the country.

Answer 2

importance of a constitution in a democratic country is that, if a constitution is not written people will do as they want to. Nobody could question the government. Everybody would have right to freedom and do whatever they want. There would be no courts and even there were the court won't know which rule to follow. There would be no way to decide who would become the party in power and hence India would not be called as a democracy.
