The importance of giving Dr Ambedkar chairmanship of the Drafting Committee was connected with what?

His constitutional understanding and social justice perspective

Direct answer: A is correct. Dr B. R. Ambedkar's chairmanship of the Drafting Committee was important because he brought deep legal and constitutional understanding, together with a strong concern for social justice and the rights of disadvantaged groups. The committee converted decisions and principles discussed by the Assembly into a coherent draft, and Ambedkar played a major role in explaining and shaping that work. A is correct because it identifies both dimensions of his contribution: constitutional skill and attention to equality and justice. B is wrong because his role was not based on support for foreign rule. C is wrong because he was an active participant in the constitutional process. D is wrong because the Constitution established democratic elections rather than seeking to stop them. Memory cue: Ambedkar and the Drafting Committee connect with constitutional design, equality and social justice.
