Explanation:
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 rewrite their Constitution
afresh because the basic rules were not accepted to all major social groups or political
parties.
Over the last half a 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 second
reason for accepting the Constitution is that the Constituent Assembly represented the
people of India. There was no universal adult franchise at that time. So, the Constituent
Assembly could not have been chosen directly by all the people of India.
The way in which the Constituent Assembly worked gives sanctity to the Constitution. The
Constituent Assembly worked in a systematic, open and consensual manner. First some
basic principles were decided and agreed upon. Then a Drafting Committee chaired by Dr.
B.R. Ambedkar prepared a draft constitution for discussion. Several rounds of thorough
discussion took place on the Draft Constitution, clause by clause. More than two thousand
amendments were considered.
Every document presented, and every word spoken in the Constituent Assembly has been
recorded and preserved. These are called ‘Constituent Assembly Debates’. These debates
provide the rationale behind every provision of the Constitution. These are used to interpret
the meaning of the Constitution.
