Posted: 17 May 2012 12:49 AM PDT


POLITY:
PARLIAMENT SYSTEM
AMENDMENT PROCEDURE

Amendment : is any type of change in the constitution, includes any type, addition, modification, substitution, repealing of any article of constitution.

Purpose of Amendment:

  • Constitution is a mean & Man is an end.
  • Constitution must be in a position to meet the changing aspiration of the people. Constitution must revolve under changing circumstances.

The Theory of Amendment can be linked with the thoughts of Thomas Paine "Future Generation can't be limited by the contract entered into by previous generation."

According to Nehru: "If you stop the Amendments, you are stopping the Growth of Nation."

For Ambedkar also:

Constitution must have enough flexibility. According to Mulford Sebley: "Unamendable Constitution is the worst tyranny of its type."

If constitution are not amended they have to be changed.

(Amendment are peaceful ways of bringing revolution.)

Examples of this are the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque near the Quatab Minar in Delhi and the building at Ajmer called Arhai Din ka Jhonpra. The only new construction in Delhi was a facade of three elaborately carved arches in front of the deity room (garbha griha) which was demolished. In their buildings, the Turks used the arch and the dome on a wide scale. Neither the arch nor the dome was a Turkish or Muslim invention.
