Solution

The makers of our Constitution have made provisions for changes to be made to it. Constitutional amendments are changes that are made to the Constitution by the Parliament whenever the need arises. The fundamental principles and statutes of the Constitution is not changed. The Constitution Amendments have to be passed by the Parliament to be incorporated. Amendments are necessary with the changes in the society and its aspirations.

In a democracy like India, the onus rests on the elected representatives of the people to propose and pass such constitutional amendments. So, indirectly, it is the people of the country who have the responsibility to make Constitutional Amendments keeping the fundamental principles and values of our Constitution intact.
