Abstract

Article 368 of the Indian Constitution outlines the amendment process, which serves as a crucial mechanism for adapting the constitution to evolving societal needs. However, this process faces numerous obstacles, including political disagreements, judicial oversight, and inflexibility of certain constitutional provisions. This study investigates the primary challenges of the amendment procedure, such as striking a balance between adaptability and stability, the judiciary's influence, and the effects of political forces. Additionally, it considers potential remedies to enhance the process while preserving the Constitution's essential framework. This research underscores the importance of a measured approach to ensure that constitutional amendments address the nation's changing requirements without compromising its core principles.
