Correct the false statements:

• There was unanimity of opinion on all provisions during CA debates


• The makers of Constitution represented only certain regions of the country


• Constitution provides certain provisions to amend articles in it


• Supreme Court of India has said that basic features of Constitution may also be amended

There was no unanimity of opinion on the provisions during Constituent Assembly debates. Only the right to vote was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.


The makers of the Constitution represented the whole of India. It was representative of every region of the country.


Constitutional Makers laid down the provisions for amending the laws and articles in the Constitution so that the needs and demands of the people could be addressed with changing times.


In the Keshavananda Bharati Case, the Supreme Court argued that the basic features of the Indian Constitution could not be changed or amended in any circumstances.
