Article 368 of the Constitution of India pertains to which of the following provisions?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Power of the Parliament to amend the Constitution
Article 368, the only article of Part XX, gives Parliament the power to amend the Constitution and lays down the procedure. An amendment bill can start in either House and needs a special majority in each; amendments touching the federal structure must also be ratified by at least half of the state legislatures. In the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973) the Supreme Court held that this power does not extend to changing the basic structure of the Constitution.
