Constitution as a Living Document

जीवंत दस्तावेज़ के रूप में संविधान

In this Class 11 Political Science topic from Part 1: Indian Constitution at Work, students explore why the Constitution is called a living document. They learn how constitutional amendments, judicial interpretation, democratic debate, and changing social needs allow its provisions to remain relevant while preserving core values. The topic also examines the balance between continuity and change, the role of institutions in interpreting constitutional principles, and how citizens engage with the Constitution in a functioning democracy.
