  1. Q1. A well-prepared student is asked why the people of India accept and obey the authority of the Constitution. Which of the following is the most appropriate reason given in the textbook?

    • C. It is accepted only because it is the longest written constitution in the world
    • D. It was made by the Constituent Assembly, which represented the people of India

    The Constitution carries authority because it was drawn up by the Constituent Assembly, which represented the people of India and made it in their name.

    • C. Specifying who has the power to make laws
