Which of the following articles empowers Parliament to amend the Constitution?

Article 368
Article 370
Article 341
None of the above

The correct answer is (a). Article 368 of the Indian Constitution empowers Parliament to amend the Constitution. It provides that Parliament may, by a law passed in both Houses of Parliament, with special majority, amend any provision of the Constitution, including the provisions relating to the amendment of the Constitution itself.

Article 370 is a special provision that grants special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was inserted in the Constitution by the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954. Article 341 is a provision that provides for the reservation of seats in educational institutions and government jobs for certain Scheduled Castes.

The other options are incorrect because they do not empower Parliament to amend the Constitution.
