Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option B.

  • Statement 1 is correct: Article 368 in Part XX of the Constitution specifies the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution and the procedure to be followed.
  • Statement 2 is correct: A Constitution Amendment Bill can be introduced in either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha). It cannot be introduced in State Legislatures.
  • Statement 3 is correct: Unlike some countries that require a separate Constituent Assembly to amend the Constitution, the Indian Constitution vests "constituent power" upon the ordinary legislature (the Parliament). When amending the Constitution under Article 368, the Parliament follows a special procedure (such as requiring a special majority) and exercises its constituent power, distinguishing it from its ordinary legislative functions.
