Which of these Constitutional Amendments is called the 'mini constitution' as it brought in many changes in the original Constitution?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 42nd Amendment
The 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, passed during the Emergency, changed so many parts of the Constitution that it is called the “mini constitution”. It added the words “Socialist”, “Secular” and “Integrity” to the Preamble, added the Fundamental Duties (Part IVA), and moved subjects such as education and forests from the State List to the Concurrent List.
