Why did the Constituent Assembly hold detailed discussions before signing the Constitution?

So that the final document would be carefully considered and broadly acceptable.

Answer: A. A Constitution sets the basic rules for government and citizens, so its provisions need careful examination. Detailed discussion gave Assembly members time to understand proposals, identify possible problems, express different viewpoints and suggest improvements. It also helped them balance national unity with rights, representation and the needs of different communities. When a final document is produced after open consideration, people can have greater confidence that it was not made casually or by one person alone. A is correct because discussion aimed to make the Constitution thoughtful and acceptable. B is wrong because the purpose was not rejection. C is wrong because discussion encouraged participation. D is wrong because constitution-making was a public deliberative process, not a secret exercise. Memory cue: discuss, revise, accept.
