Abstract
On 26th January, 1950 was considered as a red letter day in the history of India. Everyone must know about the “constituionalism” and “constitution law” before understanding the Indian constitution. After India got Independence, the goal of law makers was to evolve such a possible version of governance that would best serve the country keeping the primacy of the people as control. Our Indian constitution is not a creature of any political revolution. But of research and deliberations of eminent persons of India. Sources of Indian constitution are,
Russia – Five year plan, fundamental Rights
France – Concept of Republic, equality and fraternity
Japan – The procedure established by law
Canada- Federalism and advisory jurisdiction of apex court
England – single citizenship, Rule of law
Germany – suspension of fundamental rights during the emergency
Australia – Trade of commerce ( 301- 307)
With 395 articles, 22 parts, 12 schedules, Our Indian constitution is the most lenghtiest written constitution in the world. The sources used to generate the constitution were numerous.
