It was not an easy affair to make a constitution for a huge and diverse country like India. The major factors which contributed to the making of our Constitution were:
1. People of India were emerging from the status of subjects to that of citizens.
2. The country was formed after a partition on the basis of religious differences. It was a traumatic experience for the people of India and Pakistan.
3. The rulers of the princely states were free to decide whether they wanted to merge with India or Pakistan or remain independent.
4. In 1928, Motilal Nehru and other Congress leaders drafted a constitution for India. The resolution of the Karachi session of the Indian National Congress, in 1931 dwelt on how independent India's constitution should look like. These documents included universal adult franchise, right to freedom and equality and protection of the rights of minorities. Thus all leaders accepted some basic values much before the formation of the Constitution.
5. The familiarity with the political institutions of colonial rule helped to develop an agreement over the institutional design. Elections were held all over British India in 1937, to Provincial Legislatures and Ministries.
