Answer 2

Answer:

There are many reasons for this. Some of these can be briefly stated as

follows: -

⚫ Constitution does not reflect the views of its members alone, it expresses a broad consensus

of its time.

⚫ Many countries of the world have had to re write their constitutions a fresh

because basic rules were not accepted to all major social groups or political

parties. In some other countries, the constitutions exist as a mere piece of

paper. No one actually follows it.

⚫ The experience of our Constitution is different. Over the last half century.

Several groups have questioned some provisions of the constitution. But no

large social group or political party 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. There was no

universal adult franchise at that time. So, it was elected mainly by the

members of existing provincial legislature. This ensures a fair geographical

share of members from all the regions of the country.

⚫ The assembly was dominated by the Indian National Congress but the

leaders with different opinions. In social terms too, the assembly represented

members form different language groups, caste, classes, religions and

occupations.

⚫ The drafting of the document called the constitution was done by an

assembly of elected representatives called Constituent Assembly.

⚫ The Constituent Assembly worked in a systematic, open and consensual

manner. First some basic principles were decided and agreed upon. Then the

drafting committee chaired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar prepared a draft constitution

for discussion. Several rounds through discussion took place on the draft

clause by clause. Every document presented and every word spoken in the

Constituent Assembly has been recorded and preserved.
