It's important to note that not all provisions of the Constitution can be amended. There are certain
"basic features" of the Constitution, such as the federal structure, secularism, and democracy, which
cannot be amended. The Supreme Court of India has the authority to review and declare
amendments invalid if they violate these basic features.
Additionally, certain amendments may require the ratification of a majority of states, while others
may not. This depends on the nature of the amendment, whether it affects federalism, and other
factors.
The procedure for amending the Indian Constitution is a rigorous one, designed to ensure that
changes are not made lightly and that the core principles of the Constitution are preserved.
