An overview Of Constitutions
Guest post by Wasim Sajad Wani
FACT - Indian Constitution is the worlds largest written constitution.
Every state has a constitution, since state functions on the basis of certain rules and principles. It has often been asserted that the United States, there is a formal document called the constiution, whereas there is no such documentin Great Britain. In fact, however, many parts of British Constitution includes the Bill rights(1689), the Act of Settlement (1700-01), the Parliment Act of 1911 the successive Representation of People Acts, the statues dealing with the structure of the courts, the various local Acts, and many others.
Of course, but only one degree. A single document constitution has such advantage as greater precision, simplicity, consistency. In a newly develping State as Isrel, on the other hand , the blance of advantages has been found to lie with an uncodified constitution evolving through the growth of custom and the medium of statutes. Experience sugests that some codified constitutions are much too detailed . An overlong Constitution invites disputes and litigation is rately read or understood by the ordinary citizen and injects too much rigidity in case in which flexibility is often preferable. Since a very long constitution says too many things on too many subjects, it must be amended often and this makes it still longer. The United States Constitutions of 7,000 words is a model of brevity , whereas many of that country 's state constitutions are such too long The longest being that of state of Louisiana, whose constitution now has about 2,55,00 words. The very new , modern constitutions of new admitted states of Alaska and Hawaii and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have, significantly , very concise constitutions ranging from 9,000 to 15,000 words. The 1949 Constitution of India, with 395 articles is the wordiest of all national constitutions. In contrast, some of the world 's new constitutions, such as those of Japan and Indonesia, are very short indeed.
These are not ordinary statues, though they are adopted in the ordinary legislative way, and they are not codified within the structure of single orderly document. On ther hand, such institutions in the United States as the presidantial cabinet and system of poliTical parties, though not even mentioned in the written constitution, are most certainly of constitutional significance. The presence or absence ofnormal written document makes a difference, are most certainly of constitutional significance.
