Why is Parliament's role in constitutional amendment considered more serious than in ordinary law-making?

Correct answer: Because an amendment can change constitutional rules and must follow a special procedure, while the Constitution’s basic structure cannot be destroyed

Correct answer: A. An ordinary law is made within the framework of the Constitution, whereas a constitutional amendment changes the Constitution’s text or arrangements. Article 368 generally requires a special majority in Parliament, and amendments affecting certain federal provisions also need approval by at least half of the state legislatures. The Supreme Court has also held that Parliament cannot destroy the Constitution’s basic structure. These safeguards make constitutional amendment a more serious process than ordinary law-making. Courts can review amendments, so D is incorrect.
