-The constitution doesn't reflect the views of its members alone. It expresses the broad consequences of their time.
-No large political party or social group has ever questioned the legitimacy of the constitution itself. This is an unusual achievement for any constitution.
-The Constituent assembly represented the people of India i.e. it was represented by members from different social, economic and political groups.
-The manner in which the Constituent Assembly worked gave sanctity to the constitution. The constituent assembly worked in a systematic, open and consensual manner.
