Abstract

The constitutional system of any country is the mirror of that society in which it is designed to operate. The policy and institution underlying the constitution reflect the level of civilization and political culture of society. The working of the institutions projects the character of a mass society. The constitution as such is designed to be dynamic; it is democratic, not committed. It is dynamic in the sense that it has the potency to change political institution, if necessary without any formal change. It provides for contradictory institutions, such as the President and a Prime Minister with a council of ministers to aid and advice, a federal polity without saying so with several unitary features. It is democratic because it allows every shade of government for functions. The directive principles enumerated the areas of positive functions without the labels capitalist, socialist or Marxist.
