1.0 Objectives of the Course

 

India is a democracy and its Constitution embodies the main principles of the democratic
government- how it comes into being, what are its powers, functions, responsibilities and
obligations, and how power is limited and distributed Whatever might have been the original
power base of the Constitution, today, it seems to have acquired legitimacy as a highest norm of
public law. A good understanding of the Constitution and the law, which has developed
through constitutional amendments, judicial decisions, constitutional practice and conventions
is, therefore, absolutely necessary for a student of law. He must also know the genesis, nature and
special features and be aware of the social, political and economic influence on the
Constitution.

The purpose of teaching constitutional law is to highlight its never-ending growth. Constitutional
interpretation is bound to be influenced by one's social, economic or political predilections. A
student must, therefore, learn how various interpretations of the constitution are possible and why a
significant interpretation was adopted in a particular situation. Such a critical approach is necessary
requirement in the study of constitutional law.
