Countries have rewritten their constitutions to the suit changing ideas within society or even due to political changes. The Soviet Union did it four times (1918, 24, 26 and 77) before forming Russian Federation with new constitution in 1993. The French did it five times in last two centuries (1793, 1848, 1875, 1946 and 58). It doesn’t mean that our constitution never faced any challenges. Every challenge we faced was dealt with and came out as amendment.

• These problems created worries for the constitution makers concerning present and the future of the nation. Hence, during making of the Constitution, the future of the nation  did not look secure.
