Which article declares that a constitutional amendment is not a law and hence cannot be challenged? A. Article 13 B. Article 14 C. Article 15 D. Article 16

Article 13
Article 14
Article 15
Article 16

The correct answer is: A. Article 13

Article 13 of the Indian Constitution states that “No law shall be made in contravention of this Part”. This means that any law that is made that goes against the provisions of Part III of the Constitution, which deals with Fundamental Rights, is void.

Part III of the Constitution also includes Article 368, which deals with the amendment of the Constitution. Article 368 states that Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution, but that this power is subject to certain limitations. One of these limitations is that Parliament cannot amend the provisions of Part III of the Constitution that deal with Fundamental Rights.

This means that if Parliament were to pass a law that goes against the provisions of Part III of the Constitution, such as a law that takes away a person’s right to freedom of speech, that law would be void. This is because Article 13 states that no law can be made in contravention of Part III of the Constitution.

The other options are incorrect because they do not deal with the amendment of the Constitution. Article 14 deals with equality before the law, Article 15 deals with prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and Article 16 deals with equality of opportunity in matters of public employment.
