Which of the following is TRUE about Indian Constitution?

Correct option is C

The Indian Constitution is the longest written constitution in the world, with over 450 articles (now reduced to 448 after certain amendments) and multiple schedules. It was drafted by the Constituent Assembly and came into force on January 26, 1950. The Constitution outlines the political framework, including the fundamental rights, directive principles, and the structure of governance.

While it does enshrine the parliamentary system, it is not the only constitution to do so. Other constitutions, like those of the United Kingdom and Canada, also support parliamentary elections. The Indian Constitution was not the first to incorporate fundamental rights, as earlier constitutions like that of the United States had done so.
