The Indian Constitution is more flexible than the US Constitution because most provisions can be amended by Parliament alone with special majority, while US amendments require ratification by three-fourths of States.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Amendment flexibility: (a) India (Article 368): Most provisions amendable by Parliament with special majority (majority of total membership + 2/3 present and voting); only federal provisions need State ratification (half of States), (b) USA (Article V): Amendments require 2/3 of both Houses of Congress OR constitutional convention, PLUS ratification by 3/4 of State legislatures/conventions. India's flexibility enabled 100+ amendments adapting to changing needs; US rigidity preserved original framework (only 27 amendments in 230+ years).
