State six essential qualities of a good Constitution. 


Essential Qualities of a Good Constitution are mentioned below:

(i) Clarity or Definiteness: It means that every clause of the constitution should be written such a simple language, as should express its meaning clearly.

(ii) Brevity: The constitution should not be lengthy. It should contain only important things and unimportant things should be left out.

(iii) Comprehensiveness: It means that the constitution should be applicable to the whole country or besides the central government, there should be mention of the structure and powers of state or provincial governments. Mention should also be made about the important matters relating to the rights and duties of the government and the citizens.

(iv) Flexibility: The constitution should not be too rigid to hinder the process of amendment when needed.

(v) Declaration of rights: A good constitution must contain the fundamental rights of the people. In the constitutions of countries like India, Soviet Union, China, France, America, Japan and Italy such types of declarations have been made.

(vi) Independence of Judiciary: Independence of Judiciary is another quality of a good constitution. The judiciary should not be under the control of the executive and it should function freely and act as the guardian of the Fundamental Rights of the people without favour or fear.
