Constitution of India also known as Bharat, is a Union of States. It is a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic with a parliamentary system of government. The Republic is governed in terms of the Constitution of India which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November, 1949 and came into force on 26th January, 1950. The Constitution provides for a Parliamentary form of government which is federal in structure with certain unitary features. The constitutional head of the Executive of the Union is the President. As per Article 79 of the Constitution of India, the council of the Parliament of the Union consists of the President and two Houses known as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha). Article 74(1) of the Constitution provides that there shall be a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as its head to aid and advise the President, who shall exercise his/her functions in accordance to the advice. The real executive power is thus vested in the Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as its head.
The Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950. Although, the process of the evolution of the constitution had started many years before India got its independence. In fact, the constitution of India has originated from its struggle for independence from Britain as well as the demand for responsible and constitutional government.
Most of its political part is borrowed from the constitution of Britain and has input from other constitutions as well.
When India got its independence on 15 August 1947, the Constituent Assembly was set up as the sovereign body to frame the Constitution as well as ordinary laws.
Although, the constitution of India is written in nature it has been amended several times. However, the amendment process is neither as rigid as we find in USA nor as flexible as we find in England.
