Solution

b. President of India

S/he has to give assent to the amendment bill to make it an amendment.

c. State Legislatures

Half of the state legislature has to vote in favour of the amendment bill along with a special majority in the parliament.

d. Parliament

  • Parliament has to include an amendment, which would underlay one particular interpretation as the authentic one whenever there is a clash between the judiciary and the government over different interpretations of amendment bill.

  • In both the houses of the Parliament, the amendment bill will be passed only if half of the total strength of both the houses is separately in the favour of the amendment bill. The supporters of the amendment bill must constitute two-third of the voters in both the houses separately.

f. Judiciary

The judiciary has interpreted various provisions that concern right to education, right to life etc. to an informal amendment. It helps in the matter by balancing the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
