The constitution
Of India.....
Why need of constitution?
the set of political principles by which a state or organization is governed
The Constitution has three main functions.
First it creates a national government consisting of a legislative, an
executive, and a judicial branch, with a system of checks and balances
among the three branches.
Second, it divides power between the federal government and the
states.
And third, it protects various individual liberties of Indian citizens.
1. The original Constitution of India was handwritten by Prem Behari Narain Raizada in a
flowing italic style with beautiful calligraphy. Each page was beautified and decorated by
artists from Shantiniketan.
2. The original copies of the Indian Constitution, written in Hindi and English, are kept in
special helium-filled cases in the Library of the Parliament of India.
3. With 25 parts containing 448 articles and 12 schedules, the Indian Constitution is the longest
written Constitution of any sovereign country in the world.
4. The Constituent Assembly, which first met on December 9, 1946, took precisely 2 years, 11
months and 18 days to come up with the final draft.
5. When the draft was prepared and put for debate and discussion, over 2000 amendments
were made, before it was finalized.
6. The drafting of the Constitution was finally complete on 26th November, 1949. But, it was
legally enforced only after two months on 26th January, 1950. Which came to be known as
the Republic Day.
7. The handwritten Constitution was signed on 24th January, 1950, by 284 members of the
Constituent Assembly, which included 15 women. It came into force two days later on 26th
January.
8. Our Constitution makers took inspiration from various other Constitutions while drafting
the one for our country, which is why the Indian Constitution is often called a bag of
borrowings.

When the draft was prepared and put for debate and discussion, over 2000 amendments were made, before it was finalized. 6. The drafting of the Constitution was finally complete on 26th November, 1949. But, it was legally enforced only after two months on 26th January, 1950. Which came to be known as the Republic Day. 7.
