, , why do we need constitution ?
Answers
★ We need a Constitution because
a. so that the majority do not dominant the minority
b. the elected representative do not misuse their power so, the Constitution provide safeguards against these representative
c. so, that the proper law should be maintained in the society
Constitution is set of written rules , that are accepted by all people living togather in a country, It lays down certain ideals that people as a citizen aspire to live in society ( like spread brotherhood ,and to give certain level of education to your children) or it determines the nature of the society ( like democratic)
It is needed because -
- It defines the nature of country’s pilitical system ( like federal ,secular , socialistic and democratic in india)
- To insure that dominant group don’t use its power against others or minorities so minorities have been given certain special protection and rights
- It saves us from overselves - sometime we strongly feel about any issue that might go against our largest interest like sometime we think that india needs any dictatorship against democracy for to resolve some issue ( like terrorism or naxalism)
- It enables the government to filfull the aspiration of society ( eg - DPSP in indian constitution) and create condition for a just society .( everyone has been put equal before law and there is rule of law)
- It gives fundamental identity of the people the country ( like democratic in nature)
- It balance institutional design and make specification of decision making powers ( like seperation of power between various organs of gov. ie-executive ,judiciary ,legislative , many constitutional bodie and offices. …and seperation of power between various level of gov. ie - national ,state , loval level )
- It gives us reference for right and wrong , what/whom to follow when in doubt.. So basically acts as refference book..
- It allow minimal coordination among member of a society
- It specifies how the rulers are to be choosen and what the gov. Are empowered to do and what not to do.
- It allows coordination between various thaughts in socoety.
- It determines the relationship between state to peope and people to peole.
- It gives at least something to every person ,group ,society to stick to the constitution and hope something better ….like there are seperate positive provision for minority group ,womans ,weaker section of the society.
- It gives fundamental rights to peoe so that state could not go against the desire of the people…..
So slowly slowly constituion becomes the part and partial of citizen of nation and citizen starts thinking on constitutional way and aspire to live in society that constitution recognize.
hope it helps you.
