Why can the work of the Constituent Assembly be called a laboratory of Indian democracy?

Correct answer: Because debate, representation, amendment and consensus were practised there

Correct answer: A. A laboratory is a place where ideas are tested and improved through careful work. The Constituent Assembly functioned in a similar way for Indian democracy: members brought different views, debated provisions, proposed amendments and sought agreements before finalising the constitutional framework. This showed democratic habits in practice, not merely in theory. The process helped transform broad principles into rules for institutions and rights. B is wrong because debate and collective decision-making were important parts of the Assembly's work. C is wrong because military commands were not the method of constitution making. D is wrong because civic values such as equality, freedom and representation were central to the discussions. Memory cue: democracy is learned by practising discussion, revision and accountable agreement.
