Choose the correct answer from the given options:

3

The correct answer is Option 3 - 3

3) The grounds have been restricted to 'armed rebellion.'

The Constitution has been amended to clarify the grounds for proclaiming an 'internal' Emergency since the emergency of 1975. An 'internal' Emergency can now be proclaimed only on the grounds of 'armed rebellion.'

The Emergency at once brought out both the weaknesses and the strengths of India’s democracy. it brought out some ambiguities regarding the Emergency provision in the Constitution that have been rectified since. Now, an ‘internal’ Emergency can be proclaimed only on the grounds of ‘armed rebellion’ and it is necessary that the advice to the President to proclaim an Emergency must be given in writing by the Union Cabinet. The Emergency made everyone more aware of the value of civil liberties. The Courts too, have taken an active role after the Emergency in protecting the civil liberties of the individuals. This is a response to the inability of the judiciary to protect civil liberties effectively during an emergency. Many civil liberties organisations came up after this experience.
