Concept of Constitutional Morality

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Constitutional morality refers to the adherence to core constitutional principles—justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity—in governance and public life. It transcends mere text, emphasizing the underlying ethos of the Constitution. Courts have invoked this principle in decisions related to social reforms (e.g., decriminalization of certain personal laws). Upholding constitutional morality ensures that legislative and executive actions reflect India’s pluralistic spirit, checks majority tendencies, and preserves the sanctity of fundamental rights. By fostering reasoned debate and respectful dissent, it guides officials and citizens to maintain the Constitution’s integrity in evolving socio-political contexts.
