Need Of Constitution

Need Of Constitution: Constitution is required to safeguard the interests of common people; whether they  belong to major community  or minor community.

Some Basic Rules for  All: The whites agreed to the principle of majority rule and one person one vote. They  also agreed to accept some basic rights for the porr and the workers. The blacks agreed that majority would not take away the property of the white minortiy. So, they  wrote down some rules which everyone had to obey and all future  governments would have to follow. These rules made up the constitution of the new country. So, we can say  that the constitution of a country is a set of written rules that are accepted by all people living in country. In other words, the Constitution is the supreme law that determine the relationship among citizens and also the relationship between the people and government. It does the following tasks

(i) It generates a degree of trust and coordination among people that is necessary for the different kinds of people living together.

(ii) It specifies how the government will be constituted and who will have the power to make which decisions,

(lii) It lays down limits to the powers of the government and also specifies the rights of the citizens.

(iv) It also expresses the aspirations of the people about creating a good society.

It is not necessary that all countries that have Constitutions are democratic, but all democratic countries surely have written Constitutions. After the USA and France adopted Constitution, it is an essential practice in all democracies the world
