Explanation:
The Indian Constitution, the longest of any sovereign nation in the world, provides a comprehensive
framework to guide and govern the country, keeping in view her social, cultural and religious
diversity.
A distinctive document with many extraordinary features, the Constitution of India is the longest
written constitution of any sovereign nation in the world. The original text of the Constitution
contained 395 articles in 22 parts and eight schedules. It came into effect on January 26, 1950, the
day that India celebrates each year as the Republic Day. The number of articles has since increased
to 448 due to 100 amendments.
The Constitution was framed by the Constituent Assembly of India, established by the members of
the provincial assemblies elected by the people of India. Dr Sachidanand Sinha was the first
president of the Constituent Assembly. Later, Dr Rajendra Prasad was elected its president. Dr BR
Ambedkar, the chairman of its Drafting Committee, is considered the chief architect of the Indian
Constitution which provides a comprehensive and dynamic framework to guide and govern the
country, keeping in view her unique social, cultural and religious diversity. It establishes the main
organs – executive, legislature and judiciary, defining their powers, demarcating their
responsibilities and regulating the inter-se relationship. It inter alia lays down the basic structure of
governance and the relationship between the government and the people. The rights and duties of
citizens are also spelt out. The Constitution applies to the state of Jammu and Kashmir with certain
exceptions and modifications as provided in Article 370 and the Constitution (application to Jammu
and Kashmir) Order, 1954. It is the mother of all other laws of the country. Every law enacted by
the Government has to be in conformity with the Constitution.
The preamble to the Constitution declares India to be a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic
Republic and a welfare state committed to secure justice, liberty and equality for the people and for
promoting fraternity, dignity of the individual and unity and integrity of the nation. The objectives
specified in the preamble constitute the basic structure of the Indian Constitution which cannot be
amended. The opening and last sentences of the preamble: “We, the people... adopt, enact and give
to ourselves this Constitution” signifies the power is ultimately vested in the hands of the people.
