If amending power is with the elected representatives, judiciary should NOT have the power to decide the validity of amendments. Do you agree? Give your reasons in 100 words.


If amending power is with the elected representatives, judiciary should not have the power to decide the validity of amendments, I completely disagree with this statement. Judiciary is an important branch of the government which upholds peace, order and good governance. Citizens of any county depend upon the judiciary to sustain their rights and interpret laws.


The judiciary is authorised in the constitutional interpretation. Judiciary is involved in active interpreting of the provisions of the constitution while announcing it judgement, this keeps the process abreast. This power of judiciary keeps a check on the unsuitable and arbitrary use of the amendments by any political party and also defends the fundamental rights of the people. In many jurisdictions the judiciary exercise its power to change laws through the process of judicial review. Ultimately, we see that it is the judiciary who brings out the final verdict in every matter.
