Laws of our land are many. But the Constitution of India is the main law of the land, called India. Our Constitution is one of the biggest Constitution of the world. Many if it’s Articles have been taken from other Constitutions of the world. We have altogether 395 Articles in our Constitution. In Article 1 of the Indian Constitution states that ‘ India that is Bharat shall be a Union of states’. It implies that Indian state are part and partial of the country. They don’t have right to secede from India. The American Constitution terms America as a Federation of states where states have power to secede from the mainland. But in case of India such right has not been given to the states at all.

The Constitution of India has 22 Parts. It has 12 Schedules and altogether 395 Articles. Unlike the British Constitution, Indian Constitution is a written legal document. John Austin has considered the Indian Constitution as a social documents. We have taken fundamental rights from the American Constitution and the directive principles of the state Policy from different Constitution of the world. The Constituent Assembly framed the Indian Constitution in about three years. The Constitution of India was completed by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 . And the Indian Constitution was adopted on 26th January 1950.
