Indian constitution
▶ Introduction
Almost everything we do is governed by some set of rules. There are rules for games (like-soccer),
for social clubs and for adults in the workplace. There are also rules imposed by morality and custom
that play an important role in telling us what we should and should not do.
Some rules that are made by the legislatures (also known as Lok sabha/Rajya Sabha in India), for
there own country, are called “Law”. We need Laws in Society so our society can regulate and work
properly. They are designed to protect us and our property and to ensure that everyone in society
behaves the way that the community expects them too.
Laws tell us what to expect as a consequence of our actions. Laws have been the glue that has kept
society together. Without laws there would be complete anarchy.
Government People
▶ Definition
A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state
or other organization is governed. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is.
When these principles are written down into a single collection or set of legal documents, those
documents may be said to comprise a written constitution.
OR
The document containing laws and rules which determine and describe the form of the government,
the relationship between the citizens and the government, is called a Constitution.
OR
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for
the people to restrain the government.” --Patrick Henry (1736-1799)
▶ Why Do We Need Constitution?
o In General-
I. We need a constitution to govern a country properly.
II. The constitution defines the nature of political system of a country.
III. Sometimes we feel strongly about an issue that might go against our larger interests and the
constitution helps us guard against this.
IV. All the 3 organs of government (executive, legislature and judiciary) functions within the
constitution. All the 3 organs of government, including ordinary citizens, derive their power and
authority (i.e. Fundamental Right) from the constitution. If they act against it, it is unconstitutional
and unlawful.
So constitution is required to have authoritative allocation of power and function, and also to restrict
them within its limit.
o To perform following Functions we need Constitution-
I. The first function of a constitution is to provide a set of basic rules that allow for minimal
coordination amongst members of a society.
II. The second function of a constitution is to specify who has the power to make decisions
in a society. It decides how the government will be constituted.
III. The third function of a constitution is to set some limits on what a government can
impose on its citizens. These limits are fundamental in the sense that government may
ever trespass them.
IV. The fourth function of a constitution is to enable the government to fulfil the separations
of a society and create conditions for a just society.
1) To set up a Union of India comprising British India and the princely states.
2) To set up a federal form of government with separate state and central governments.
3) To set up a democracy in which all power is derived from the people:
I) where all people are guaranteed justice, equality and freedom;
II) where minorities, depressed classes and the tribal's rights are protected;
4) To protect the integrity of India and her sovereign rights over land, sea and air.
5) To help India attain its rightful place in the world -and work for peace and welfare of all mankind.
