Salient Features of the Constitution

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Covers the Constitution’s unique blend of rigidity and flexibility—certain parts can be amended by a simple majority, while others require special majorities or state ratifications. Emphasizes the federal structure with a unitary bias, a parliamentary form of government, and the presence of an independent judiciary. It is known as the lengthiest written constitution globally, containing provisions for fundamental rights, directive principles, and special laws for diverse communities. The framers borrowed concepts from various world constitutions (e.g., Britain’s parliamentary system, the U.S. Bill of Rights, and Ireland’s Directive Principles). This comprehensive nature ensures both the protection of individual liberties and the promotion of socio-economic welfare.
