B. Dead constitution
C. Outdated constitution
D. Lightest constitution

Answer 1

Hint: The fundamental rule of India is the Constitution of India. It imparts political authority and has been accepted with a resolution in its preamble by its citizens. The constitution should not be overridden by parliament.

Complete answer:
With 448 articles, the Indian Constitution is the longest and most complex constitution. From 60 constitutions around the world, it has drawn its inspiration. For a sovereign country, the Indian constitution is the oldest in the world. It had 395 articles in 22 sections and 8 timetables at its ratification. It is the second-longest functioning constitution in the world after the Constitution of Alabama at around 145,000 terms. The Constitution has a preamble and 470 sections, divided into 25 parts. It has been revised 104 times with 12 timetables and five appendices; the most recent reform came into force on 14 January 2019. It was approved on 26 November 1949 by the Constituent Assembly of India and became effective on 26 January 1950. As the basic governing document of the world, the constitution replaced the Government of India Act 1935, and the Dominion of India became the Republic of India. Its framers abolished previous acts of the British Parliament in Article 395 to guarantee parliamentary autonomy. On 26 January, India celebrates its constitution as Republic Day. India is proclaimed an independent, socialist, liberal, democratic republic by the Constitution, promising order, dignity, and independence for its people and seeking to foster fraternity. In a helium-filled case at the New Delhi Parliament Building, the original 1950 constitution is restored. During the Emergency, the terms "secular" and "socialist" were added to the preamble in 1976.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: The constitution is known in substance as territorial, and in spirit as unitary. It has federal attributes, including a codified, supreme constitution; a three-tier (central, state, and local) governing structure; separation of powers; bicameralism; and an autonomous judiciary. It also has unitary characteristics, such as a single constitution, single citizenship, an integrated judiciary, a versatile constitution, a powerful central government, central government appointments of state governors, All India Services, and emergency arrangements. This distinctive mixture renders it quasi-federal in nature.
