18. Why should we accept the
constitution made by this assembly
more than fifty years ago?

19. The reasons for acceptability of the constitution
till today are as follows:
• The constitution does not reflect the views of its members alone.
It expresses a broad consensus of tis time.
• The constitution assembly represented the people of India. Since
there was no universal adult franchise at that time, the
constituent assembly could not have been chosen directly by the
people. It was elected, mainly by the members of provincial
legislatures, which ensured a fair share of all the regions of the
country.
• The constituent assembly worked in a systematic, open and
consensual manner. The nature of work done by the constituent
assembly gave sanctity to the constitution.
