1950 Constitution Amendment

The 1950 Constitution Amendment in India was a key change that officially adopted the Constitution of India on January 26, 1950, making India a sovereign, democratic republic. It replaced the Government of India Act 1935 and laid the legal foundation for India’s new political system, establishing fundamental rights, the structure of government, and the principles of democracy. This amendment marked India's transition from British colonial rule to an independent republic, ensuring that sovereignty resided with the people and that the country’s governance was based on democratic principles.
