Which Article specifies the procedure for amending the Indian Constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 368.
Article 368 of the Indian Constitution specifies the procedure for amending the Constitution. It provides for two types of amendments:
- By a simple majority of Parliament, for changes to provisions outside the Constitution's scope, like schedules.
- By a special majority in Parliament (two-thirds of members present and voting) and, in some cases, ratification by at least half of the state legislatures, for significant amendments affecting federal structure or fundamental provisions.
This ensures a balance between rigidity and flexibility in the constitutional amendment process.
