This principle finds expression in Article 368 of the Indian Constitution, which delineates the procedure for constitutional amendments. However, the question arises as to whether Parliament, operating within the confines of Article 368, possesses the authority to dismantle the Basic Structure of the Constitution by expanding its amending power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Tag: <\/strong>Indian Constitution.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div

The power to amend the constitution is necessary to overcome the challenges and to meet the demands for the nation\u2019s growth and development.The Parliament at times has breached the constitutional limits by transgressing the areas related to federal structure, and to a certain extent misused Article 368 itself. This is evident from the 25th\u202fand 42nd\u202fConstitutional Amendment Acts, which has threatened the principle of Constitutionalism.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Structure_Doctrine_and_Limited_Powers_of_Parliament\"><\/span><strong>Basic Structure Doctrine and Limited Powers of Parliament:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Kesavananda Bharati Case (1973):<\/strong> The Supreme Court held that Parliament\u2019s power to amend the Constitution is limited as it cannot alter the \u2018basic structure\u2019 of the Constitution.A limited amending power is one of the basic features of the constitution and, therefore, the limitations on that power cannot be destroyed.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Minerva Mills v\/s Union of India Case (1980): The Supreme Court struck down clauses (4) and (5) of Article 368 inserted by the 42nd Amendment, on the ground that these clauses destroyed the essential feature of the basic structure of the constitution.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Chandra Kumar v\/s Union of India (1997):<\/strong> The judgment held that every provision of the Constitution was open to amendment provided the basic foundation or structure of the Constitution was not damaged or destroyed.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42412 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10.png 1280w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10-1170x274.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10-585x137.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/300;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\">UPSC Essay Course<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_the_various_judgments_the_following_have_emerged_as_%E2%80%98basic_features_of_the_Constitution\"><\/span><strong>From the various judgments, the following have emerged as &#8216;basic features of the Constitution:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Supremacy of the Constitution&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Secular Character of the Constitution&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Federal character of the Constitution&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Unity and integrity of the nation&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The Sovereign, democratic, and republican nature of the Indian polity&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Welfare state (socio-economic justice)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Judicial review&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Freedom and dignity of the individual&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Parliamentary system&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The separation of powers between the Legislature, the Executive, and the judiciary&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Rule of law etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Parliament is restricted in its power to amend the Constitution so that the soul of the Constitution as envisaged by the founding fathers of India remains intact.
