Question

Explain the salient features of our Constitution.

Answer 1

salient features of Indian constitutions are :
1) Democratic Rule : India has adopted the democratic
system of government. General elections are held in our country every
five years. Citizens above the age of 18 are eligible to cast their vote. We
cannot imagine democracy without elections. People all over the country
play their role in electing their representatives. Any voter of the
country can contest an election irrespective of his/ her religion, caste, class or gender.
2) Secularism : A secular nation means that the government
does not conform to the norms of any particular religion in its
system of governance. Citizens are not discriminated on the
basis of their faith, sect or religion. Every citizen enjoys the right
to follow and propagate the religion of his/her choice.
3) Republic : Republic means a government that obtains powers from people directly or indirectly. We have adopted a democratic republic system of government which means that powers are not limited in the hands of a few privileged people; rather it is accessible to all the citizens irrespective of their caste, class, religion or gender.
