INTRODUCTION
The Indian Constitution is a comprehensive document that declares the existence of an independent and free India, where people are granted fundamental rights and duties, the Stet is granted Directive Principles of State Policy, and regulates the functioning and working of different pillars of democracy. It is the basic, yet core document, and is regarded as the Supreme Law of the Land i.e., no law can surpass its scope or limitations on powers. The lengthiest constitution in the world, the Indian Constitution is a combination of Indian principles and a combined borrowing from many other constitutions, like British, American, Irish, Australia, etc. It is an essence of every significant aspect of each constitution, done for the protection and safe yet enjoyable freedom to live in Indian society.
The Parliament can change or amend the Constitution, with the majority of the states advocating or concurring for the same. The process is not smooth and easy, but when executed, it is a significant process with significant results. The Constitution is the basic yet supreme law of the country, and it must be amended only when there is a dire need and completely significant valid justification due to changes in circumstances and social structure.
