\nStatement B is correct. The first draft of the Constitution prepared by the Drafting Committee was published in February 1948 and was circulated for public comments, suggestions, and criticism from the public, provinces, and Princely States. These comments were then discussed and amendments were incorporated into subsequent drafts.
\n<\/section>\n
\nTransparency and public consultation, to a certain extent, were part of the constitution-making process. The Constituent Assembly was formed in December 1946, adopted the Constitution on November 26, 1949, and the Constitution fully came into effect on January 26, 1950. It is one of the longest written constitutions in the world.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is slightly inaccurate as the framing was completed by November 1949, not December 1949. Statement C is incorrect as the Indian Constitution is known for being one of the most voluminous in the world. Statement D is incorrect as only certain provisions relating to citizenship, elections, provisional parliament, etc., came into force immediately on November 26, 1949 (the date of adoption); the bulk of the Constitution came into force on January 26, 1950.
