explain the constitution both rigid and flexible |
| Answer» Indian Constitution is both rigid and flexible\xa0because the procedure of amendment is neither easy\xa0nor difficult. It is rigid as some ideals like equality, secularism, sovereignty cannot\xa0be changed and flexible because there is provision for certain amendments. The Constitution has provided a federal\xa0structure for India. The jurisdictions of the Centre\xa0and states have been defined and demarcated. Both\xa0the Centre and the States have been authorised to\xa0exercise powers independently. There are provisions which can change the federal\xa0structure into a unitary one. Amendments can be\xa0made only with the consent of both the centre and\xa0the state\xa0governments\xa0A special majority of two-third votes of the Union Parliament,\xa0is\xa0required to amend the Constitution. Thus, the Indian\xa0Constitution enjoys the advantages of a combination\xa0of flexibility and rigidity. | |
