The Seventh Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956, was enacted to implement the recommendations of the States Reorganisation Commission and the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. It significantly amended many parts of the Constitution, including abolishing the classification of states into Parts A, B, C, and D, introducing Union Territories, making provisions for common High Courts for multiple states, adjusting executive powers, and modifying entries in the legislative lists.

The Third Amendment (1954) related to Schedule VII (Concurrent List). The Sixth Amendment (1956) related to Schedule VII (Union List entry on newspapers).
