Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
INDIA (official name: the republic of India) which is the largest democracy in the world along with the longest written constitution of any country in the world containing 448 Article in 22 Parts 12 Schedule.
the constitution of India suffers from the converse flaw; in less than 73 years, it has been amended at last count 103 times under the procedure of amendment which is laid down in part-XX (article 368) of the constitution of India.
An Amendment under Indian constitution
art.368 - power of parliament to amend the constitution and procedure therefor
amendment falls under the 3 categories
effected by the simple majority
effected by a special majority (2/3)
effected by the special majority + ratification by the state.
so there were certain points which are responsible in the amendment of the constitution:-
the country is made up of diverse religions and to maintain its diversity the constitution needs to be amended to the demand of time and situations.
prohibited the people who were discriminated according to their cast/race/ sex/religion etc, for instance, article 15(6)and Article 16(6) added were:-
Article 15 (6) is added to provide reservations to economically weaker sections for admission to educational institutions including private educational institutions, whether aided or unaided by the State, other than the minority educational institutions referred to in clause (1) of Article 30.
Article 16 (6) is added to provide reservations to people from economically weaker sections in government posts. An explanation states that "economic weakness" shall be decided on the basis of "family income" and other "indicators of economic disadvantage."
protecting the fundamental right of citizens like-the right to equality, right to freedom, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, right to property, etc.
“so basically if the constitution is tools for governance then they simply must be changed over the period of time through Trial (court case) and error. constitutions should be changed as often as their subject want to change them to bring about the result they want for their political community .”
