The Constitution of India An Introduction — Social Studies STD 7 — Question

A constitution is a formal document that lays down the basic principles, laws, and structure of a country’s government. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the legislature, executive, and judiciary, and explains the rights and duties of citizens.
We need a constitution because:
1. It provides a common framework to govern the country.
2. It ensures fairness, accountability, and justice by balancing powers among different government branches.
3. It lays out guiding values like equality, freedom, and justice.
4. Like a rule book in a game, it helps everyone follow agreed rules, ensuring order and harmony in a diverse nation.
