How to amend the Constitution?
The Constitution must be amended if so required. But it must be protected from unnecessary and frequent changes.
The Indian Constitution of India combines both ‘flexible’ and at the same time ‘rigid’ to be changed.
There were some provisions in the Constitution that were of temporary nature and it was decided that these could be altered later on once the new Parliament was elected.
But at the same time, the Constitution was framing a federal polity and therefore, the rights and powers of the States could not be changed without the consent of the States.
Some other features were so central to the spirit of the Constitution that the Constitution makers were anxious to protect these from change. These provisions had to be made rigid.
These considerations led to different ways of amending the Constitution.
