The process of amendment is flexible for some parts and rigid for some other parts. The inclusion of rigidity in the Indian constitution has been taken from the constitution of the U.S. and flexibility from that of the U.K. 

There are three methods of making amendment in the constitution:

1. Some parts of the constitution can be amended by a simple majority of both the houses of the Parliament, e.g., the re-organisation of the states establishment of legislative council in the state or abolishing it. It shows flexibility of the constitution. 

2. For some parts, the amendment in the constitution can be made by absolute majority of the two houses, and two-third majority of the members present in the house. 

3. For some subjects, the amendment can be made by absolute majority of the two houses and two-third of the members present, besides the support of at least fifty per cent of the state legislatures. The above mentioned methods show the rigidity of the constitution.
