Why did the Constituent Assembly deliberate on the draft in detail before adoption?

So that defects were reduced and acceptance increased in the final Constitution

Direct answer: Detailed deliberation helped reduce defects and increase acceptance of the final Constitution. A draft is a proposal, not necessarily a perfect final document. Members can examine its words, identify unclear provisions, discuss their effects, and suggest changes. Careful debate also allows different interests to be heard before adoption, making the final document more workable and trustworthy. Option A is correct because review improves both quality and public or representative acceptance. Option B is wrong because deliberation was meant to complete the Constitution, not postpone it forever. Option C is wrong because detailed discussion requires participation. Option D is wrong because debate and explanation are contrary to secrecy. Memory cue: draft means examine and improve; adoption comes after informed deliberation.
