The Indian Constitution

The Indian Constitution is a foundational legal document that sets the rules for how the country is governed. It establishes India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic, outlining the structure and powers of government, and safeguarding citizens’ rights and responsibilities. It defines the roles of the executive, legislature, and judiciary, and ensures justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all. Enacted in 1950, it provides a framework for governance and laws, balancing authority and individual freedoms, and promoting national unity while respecting diversity.
