Sources of Indian Constitution
In this foreign music course, I, Abhishek Mishra, will be
discussing the sources of Indian Constitution. As we know,
quality is a crucial segment of UPSC Prelims, and we need to be
aware of various articles and provisions in the constitution to
answer questions correctly. Therefore, we need to have this
information handy and remember it during crunch time in the
examination. In today's class, I will be discussing the following:
The basics of constitution and polity
The definition of state and its various contexts
The features of Indian Constitution, including parliamentary
form of government, federalism, independent judiciary,
secularism, and separation of powers
Let's begin by understanding what constitution and polity
mean. The constitution is the basic law of the land, which
defines how the state will be governed. It is a collection of
fundamental principles and regulations that govern the
country. The constitution is framed by a specialized body called
the Constituent Assembly. The constitution is a power map that
allocates power among the different organs of the state,
including the executive, legislature, and judiciary. The
constitution is the supreme law of the land, and all laws and
regulations must be in conformity with it.
The state has three organs - executive, legislature, and
judiciary. The executive implements the laws, the legislature
makes the laws, and the judiciary interprets the laws. The
Indian Constitution has several features, including:
Parliamentary form of government
Federalism
Independent judiciary
Secularism
Separation of powers
