Abstract

This paper outlines the comparative history and experience of two great constitutions in the world, those belonging to the Republic of India and the United States of America. Through contextual analysis, looking at the different histories, political and personal values, the paper seeks to examine the powers to amend the constitution in action and determine what makes the US constitution one of the most “rigid” and the Indian constitution oe of the most “flexible” constitutions in the world
