UPSC NDA-2 – 2021
The Constitution of India is the supreme law of the land (Option C). It provides a framework of basic rules for governance (Option A) and specifies the powers and structure of the Government’s organs (legislature, executive, judiciary) (Option B). While the judiciary plays a crucial role in interpreting the Constitution and upholding its supremacy through judicial review, the Constitution itself establishes the judiciary and defines its powers within the framework of constitutional supremacy. The Constitution specifies the role and powers of the judiciary, but it does not specify the “supremacy of the judiciary” over the Constitution or other branches in an unqualified sense. Therefore, “It specifies the supremacy of the judiciary” is not a correct fundamental feature of the Constitution in the same way as the others.
– The Constitution of India is the supreme law.
– It lays down the basic structure and rules of the political system.
– It defines the powers and functions of the different branches of government.
– Judicial review is a feature, but it operates within the framework of constitutional supremacy.
