Catalog Description

India i.e. Bharat is a Union of States.  It is a Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic with a
parliamentary system of government.  The Republic is governed in terms of the Constitution
of India which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 th November 1949 and came
into force on 26th January 1950.
The Constitution of India is the cornerstone of a country’s governance system. It stipulates
where power lies within the state, what the institutions of government are, and how they are
intended to operate. Good governance emerges from its structural provisions, such as
separation of powers and statement of explicit rights that guard against authoritarian control.
As the highest legal norm within the hierarchy of norms, the constitution also becomes a
reference point for the legality of administrative and legislative actions. In sum, constitutional
reform ultimately embodies governance reform. Therefore the Constitution is a document that
contains the dos and don'ts of a country. It also stipulates the organs of the government and
this leads to its importance in the governance of a country. Since most constitutions are
people driven, it therefore gives the rights of its citizens amongst which is a component of
democratically electing its leaders who function through the three arms of government as
Executive, Legislature and Judiciary.
