Question 1 of 18
1. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements:
- The Indian Constitution does not make ethnic identity a criterion for citizenship
- The legitimacy of the Indian Constitution lies in the fact that it was drawn by credible people
- The Indian Constitution was never subject to any referendum, hence it lacks legitimacy
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
NCERT Class XI, Indian Constitution at Work, Page 11 – 12
Some countries have subjected their constitution to a full-fledged referendum, where all the people vote on the desirability of a constitution. The Indian Constitution was never subject to such a referendum, but nevertheless carried enormous public authority, because it had the consensus and backing of leaders who were themselves popular. Although the Constitution itself was not subjected to a referendum, the people adopted it as their own by abiding by its provisions. Therefore, the authority of people who enact the constitution helps determine in part its prospects for success.
