Article 170 of the Constitution of India deals with the composition of the Legislative Assemblies of the States. It states that the Legislative Assembly of each State shall consist of not more than five hundred, and not less than sixty, members chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies in the State. The Delimitation Commission is responsible for redrawing the boundaries of these constituencies based on population data from the Census, ensuring that the number of seats in each assembly (within the maximum and minimum limits) reflects the population distribution.
