Salient Features of the Indian Constitution

 

Salient Features of the Indian Constitution

1. Lengthiest Written Constitution

   • The Indian Constitution is the longest written constitution in the world.

   • It contains detailed provisions on every aspect of governance — from fundamental rights to the structure of the judiciary and local governments.

2. Borrowed from Various Sources

   • It has drawn provisions from many foreign constitutions:

     • UK – Parliamentary system, Rule of Law

     • USA – Fundamental Rights, Judicial Review, Independence of Judiciary

     • Canada – Federation with a strong Centre

     • Ireland – Directive Principles of State Policy

     • France – Ideals of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity

3. Partly Rigid and Partly Flexible

   • Some parts can be amended easily by Parliament (flexible).

   • Others require a special majority and approval of half the state legislatures (rigid).

   • Hence, it combines both rigidity and flexibility.

4. Federal System with Unitary Bias

   • India has a federal structure (division of powers between Centre and States).

   • However, in times of emergency, powers become more centralized, giving it a unitary character.

5. Secular State

   • The Constitution declares India as a secular nation — there is no official religion.

   • All religions are treated equally by the State.

6. Independent Judiciary

   • The judiciary is independent from the executive and legislature.

   • The Supreme Court acts as the guardian of the Constitution and protector of Fundamental Rights.

7. Universal Adult Franchise

• Every citizen aged 18 years or above has the right to vote, irrespective of caste, religion, gender, or wealth.

• This ensures political equality among all citizens.
