Question

What were the challenges faced by the constitutive assembly while formulating the constitution

Answer 1

Challenges faced by the constituent assembly were :

The country was made up of several different communities who spoke different languages, belonged to different religions, and had distinct cultures. Also, when the Constitution was being written, India was going through considerable turmoil. The partition of the country into India and Pakistan was imminent, some of the Princely States remained undecided about their future, and the socio-economic condition of the vast mass of people appeared dismal. All of these issues played on the minds of the members of the Constituent Assembly as they drafted the Constitution. They rose to the occasion and gave this country a visionary document that reflects a respect for maintaining diversity while preserving national unity.

Answer 2

The Indian Constitution is the foremost law of India. The Constitution lays down the framework distinguishing structure, procedures, fundamental political code, duties, and powers, of govt. institutions and set forth the citizens' fundamental rights, the citizens' duties, and the directive principles

Explanation:

India being a diverse nation had to face many challenges while drawing up the Constitution. They were:

• At the time the the Constitution was being made, the Indian people were emerging from the status of subjects to that of citizens.
• Centered on religious distinctions, the separation of the nation took place. To both the citizens of India and Pakistan it was a traumatic experience which led to lakhs being killed
• The British left princely states to determine if they wanted to merge with or remain independent off India or Pakistan. Hence, the merger looked an uncertain and difficult task
• 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.
