The Power of Constitution Making: Exploring the Constituent Assembly of India
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Indian Political System
Abstract
Constitution is the supreme law of land. It is set of rules and regulations to govern a country. The Constitution of India which is supposedly to be called as ?the lengthiest written constitution? is outcome of the outstanding and the applaudable work of the Constituent Assembly, which was made under the Cabinet Mission Plan 1946. The demand that the constitution of India should be made by the people of India themselves arose in 1922. Later the demand was carried by Indian National Congress in 1935. Britishers finally realized that Indians should make the Constitution by themselves what came to be known as August Offer of 1940. Finally, the cabinet mission proposal (1946) was accepted and the Constituent Assembly was composed as per the scheme recommended by it.
Keywords
