Question

This is not fair! what was the point in having a constituent assembly in india if all the basics were already decided

Answer 1

The Constitution of India was not prepared in haste but the process of the evolution of the constitution began many decades before India became independent in 1947.

The process continued unabated since it origi­nated in the freedom struggle till a new constitution was drafted after prolonged debates and discussions in the Constituent Assembly.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The basics were decided by the Congress Party which did not at that time represent the whole country, and it was not an elected representative of the people. The Constituent Assembly was the people's representative body and took every one's views and opinions into consideration
