Legal framework for the Elimination of violence against Women in India
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It protects individual freedom and its fundamental principles govern India.
The Constitution is not created by the Parliament but by a constituent assembly and adopted by its people. Therefore, it is based on constitutional supremacy rather than parliamentary supremacy, and the Parliament cannot override it, although they have the power to amend it.
It all began when the constituent assembly set up a Drafting Committee on 29th August 1947 to frame the Indian Constitution. The Chairman of the Committee was Dr B.R. Ambedkar along with six other members. They were majorly inspired by the British Constitution.
However, there was a lot of frameworks that are taken from other countries too, like the idea of the preamble taken from the United States.
The constitution of India was adopted on the 26th of November, in the year 1949. However, it came to effect on the 26th of January, 1950. Hence, 26th January is celebrated as the Republic day of India. After the adoption of the constitution, the Union of India became the contemporary and modern Republic of India.
The Indian Constitution is the world's lengthiest written constitution. It had 395 articles, 22 parts and 8 schedules at the time of commencement.
