Which one of the following is not a function of the Constitution of India ?

The Constitution of India serves several fundamental purposes, but ensuring the 'participation of good people in politics' is not a formal function. Instead, it focuses on structural and normative frameworks. It defines the roles, functions, and powers of the different organs of government—the legislature, executive, and judiciary [3][3]. It guarantees a set of Fundamental Rights to citizens, which act as limitations on government power to ensure democratic governance [1][4]. Furthermore, through the Directive Principles of State Policy, it aims to create conditions for a just society by securing a social order for the promotion of welfare and minimizing inequalities [5][6]. While the Constitution provides an electoral system to enable voting, it does not prescribe moral or qualitative criteria like 'goodness' for political participation, as such subjective standards are outside the scope of a legal framework [3].
