CONSTITUTIONAL DESIGN

In this power point presentation I am going to tell you about how our constitution is

designed

A broad definition of constitution

1)Some rules that are made by the legislatures for there own country , are called “Law”.

2)We need Laws in the Society so our society can regulate and work properly and to ensure that everyone in society behaves the way that

the community expects them too3)Laws tell us what to expect as a consequence of our actions . Laws have been the glue that has kept our society together . Without laws

there would be complete anarchy

In Short

A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state is governed

Constitution of India

DR. B R Ambedkar

14 Apr 1891 - 6 Dec 1956

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It is a living document, an instrument which makes the government system work. It

lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles and the

duties of citizens.

 It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign

country in the world, containing 448 articles in 25parts,

12schedules, 5 appendices and 98

 amendments (out of 120 Constitution Amendment Bills). Besides the English version, there is an official Hindi translation. Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is widely regarded as the chief architect of

the Indian Constitution.

Constitution of Africa

Nelson Mandela

18 July 1918 - 5 Dec 2013

The Constitution of South Africa is the supreme law of the country of South Africa. It provides the legal foundation for the existence of the republic, sets out the rights and duties of its citizens, and defines the structure of the government. The current constitution, the country's fifth, was drawn up by the Parliament elected in 1994 in the first non-racial elections.

It was promulgated by President Nelson Mandela on 10 December 1996 and came into effect on 4 February 1997, replacing the Interim Constitution of 1993.

Since 1996, the Constitution has been amended by seventeen

amendment acts. The Constitution is formally entitled the "Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,

1996."

It was previously also numbered as if it were an Act of Parliament—Act No. 108 of 1996—but, since

the passage of the Citation of Constitutional Laws Act, neither it nor the acts amending

it are allocated act numbers.
