The correct option is A, To ensure participation of good people in politics.

The Constitution of India performs several functions essential for a democratic state. It lays down the basic structure of the government, defines the powers and functions of its organs (legislature, executive, judiciary), guarantees fundamental rights to citizens, sets goals for the welfare state (DPSPs), and provides the framework for governance to achieve a just society. However, while the Constitution provides the mechanism for political participation (e.g., electoral process), it cannot *ensure* that only people with certain moral qualities (“good people”) enter politics. This is influenced by societal factors, political processes, and individual choices, not directly guaranteed by the constitutional framework itself.

B) The Constitution guarantees fundamental rights to citizens (Part III).
C) The Constitution defines the structure, powers, and responsibilities of the different organs of government (Parts V, VI, etc.).
D) The Constitution aims to create conditions for a just society through its Preamble (justice, equality, fraternity) and Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV).
Ensuring the moral character of political participants is not a function directly undertaken or guaranteed by the text of the Constitution.
