Answer» Ans :- In a democracy its citizen enjoys not only the right of running the government of the country but also the privilege of framing its constitution. The Constituent Assembly means a Constitution making body, i.e. an assembly of people or a convention set up by the people of a country for the purpose of framing its constitution. The idea of Constituent Assembly was implicit in the demand for Swaraj made by the Indian national congress as early as 1906. In 1936 the congress resolved that "the congress stands for a genuine democratic State in India, where power has been transferred to the people as a whole and the government is under their effective control. Such a State can only once into existence through a Constituent Assembly having the power to determine finally the constitution of the country. On March 15, 1946 Mr. Attlee, the labour Prime Minister categorically admitted the right of Indians to frame their own Constitution. The British parliament passed the Indian Independence Act, 1947 in July of the same year. As per the Independence Act two independent dominions were created from August 15, 1947. The constituent Assembly which was already been formed went into action as per Cabinet Mission Plan. Its total membership for the whole of India was 389 out of which 93 members were from the Princely States and 296 were elected from the British Indian Provinces. the words "Socialist and Secular" were added after "sovereign" and the word 'integrity' after 'unity' was added to the preamble. The three concepts of socialists, secular and integrity were already implicit in the Constitution and have been widely accepted and followed by government and people of India. These concepts have been now added in black and white to the preamble. The terms justice, liberty, equality and fraternity found in the preamble of the Constitution are interrelated and are overlapping concepts. Y answer m drafting Committee ka baare m nhi h |
