22 SALIENT FEATURES OF THE CONSTITUTION
23
24 INTRODUCTION It should be noted at the outset that a number of original features of the constitution (as adopted in 1949) have undergone a substantial change, on account of several amendments, particularly 7 th, 42 nd, 44 th, 73 rd and 74 th Amendment. In fact the 42 nd A e d e t A t is k o as Mi i Co stitutio due to the i porta t a d large u er of changes made by it in various parts of the constitution. However, in the Kesavananda Bharti case (1973) the Supreme Court ruled that the constituent power of Parliament under Arti le 3 does ot e a le it to alter the asi stru ture of the Constitution.
25 A Lengthiest Written Constitution: A written constitution is framed at a given time and comes into force on a fixed date as a document. Our constitution was framed in 2 years, 11 months and 18 days, it was adopted on 26th November, 1949 and enforced on January 26, The Constitution of India is the lengthiest of all the written constitutions of the world. Originally 1949 the constitution contained a Preamble, 395 Articles, 8 Schedules and 22 parts. But Presently it consists a Preamble, about 465 articles, (divide into 25 parts) and 12 Schedule. The various amendments carried out since 1951 have deleted 20 Articles and one Part (VII) and added about 85 articles, 4 Parts ( IVA, IXA,IXB,and XIVA) and 4 schedules ( 9,10,11,12). Drawn From Various Source: The constitution of India has borrowed most of its provisions from the Constitutionof various other countries as well as from the GOI Act of Other countries like Canada, USSR(Russia), Australia, USA, France, South Africa, Germany, Japan etc.
26 Rigid and Flexibile: The Indian Constitution is a unique example of combination of rigidity and flexibility. A constitution is called rigid or flexible on the basis of its amending procedure. In a rigid constitution, amendment of the constitution is not easy like the constitutions of USA, Switzerland and Australia are rigid constitutions. Whereas, the British Constitution is considered flexible because its amendment procedure is easy and simple. The Constitution of India has three categories of amendments ranging from simple to most difficult procedure depending on the nature of the amendment. Federal Polity: India has a federal structure. In a federation there are two distinct levels of governments. There is one government for the whole country which is called the Union or Central Government and there is a government for each Unit or state.
27 The USA is a federation whereas the UK(Britain) has a unitary form of government where there is only one government for the whole country and the power is centralized. The Co stitutio of I dia does ot use the ter federal state ut alls India a U io of States. There is a proper distribution of powers between the Union/Central Government and the State Governments in form of Union List, State List and the Concurrent List. Parliamentary Democracy: India has a parliamentary form of democracy. This has been adopted from the British system. In a parliamentary democracy there is a close relationship between the legislature and the executive. The Cabinet is selected from among the members of legislature. The cabinet is responsible to the latter. In this form of democracy, the Head of the State is nominal so in India, the President is the Head of the State. Constitutionally the President has numerous powers but in practice the Council of Ministers headed by the PM, exercises these powers. The President has to act on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers
28 Fundamental Rights : The Constitution of India guarantees Fundamental rights. The Constitution provides for six Fundamental Rights which are justiciable and hence are protected by the judiciary. 1 Right to Equality (Art 14-18) 2. Right to Freedom (Art 19-22) 3. Right against Exploitation (Art 23-24) 4. Right to Freedom of Religion (Art 25-28) 5. Cultural & Educational Rights( Art 29-30) 6. Right to Constitutional Remedies ( Art 32) Fundamental Duties: Fundamental Duties were added to our Constitution by the 42nd Amendment. On the recommendation of Swaran Singh Committee. It lays down a list of ten Fundamental Duties for all citizens of India. While the rights are given as guarantees to the people, the duties are obligations which every citizen is expected to perform.
29 Directive Principles of State Policy: These have been adopted from the Irish Constitution, included in our Constitution to ensure social and economic justice to our people. Directive Principles aim at establishing a welfare state in India where there will be no concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. They can be classified into three broad categories --- socialists, Gandhian and liberal Intellectal. Single Integrated Judicial System: India has a single integrated judicial system. The Supreme Court is the apex court of the judicial system. Below it are the High Courts which control and supervise the lower courts. The Indian judiciary is like a pyramid with the lower courts as the base, High Courts in the middle and the Supreme Court at the top. Quasi Federal: It means a federal set up where despite having two clear sets of government central and the states, more powers are given to the Central Government, supremacy of the judiciary is an essential feature of a federation so that the constitution could be interpreted impartially.
30 Single Citizenship: Usually in a federal state the citizens enjoys double citizenship like in the USA. But in India there is only single citizenship which means that every Indian is a citizen of India, irrespective of the place of his/her residence or place of birth. He/she is not a citizen of the Constituent State like Rajasthan, Uttaranchal or Chattisgarh to which he/she may belong to. All the citizens of India can secure employment anywhere in the country and enjoy all the rights equally in all the parts of the nation. Independence of Judiciary: Indian judiciary is independent and impartial. It is free from the influence of the executive as well as the legislature. Its judges are appointed on the basis of their qualifications and cannot be removed easily neither can their terms of office be altered to their disadvantage
31 Universal Adult Franchise: Indian de o ra y fu tio s o the asis of o e perso o e ote. The Indian Constitution establishes political equality in India through the method of universal adult franchise. Every citizen of India who is 18 years of age or above is entitled to vote in the elections irrespective of caste, sex, race, religion or status. Emergency Provisions: The Constitution makers expected that there could be situations when the government could not be run in usual manner due to difficult circumstances. To cope with such situations, the Constitution elaborated on emergency provisions. There are three types of emergency; A) emergency caused by war, external aggression or armed rebellion; B) emergency arising out of the failure of constitutional machinery in states; and C) financial emergency. Secular State: The Constitution of India stands for a secular state. It does not upload any particular religion as the official religion of the Indian State.
32 Three -tier Government: There is 3 tier Government. Centre Govt, State Govt and Local Govt. The local Govt added by the 73 rd Constitutional Amendment act 1992 gave constitutional recognition Panchayat(rural loacl govt) and 74 th Constitutional Amendment Act 1992 gave constitutional recognition Muncipalities (Urban local govt).
