Constitutional Law

Why it matters

• It acts as the supreme law of the land, ensuring that all legislative and executive actions remain within the framework prescribed by the Constitution.
• It serves as a mechanism for the separation of powers, preventing the concentration of authority and ensuring checks and balances between the legislature, executive, and judiciary.
• It provides the legal basis for the protection of fundamental rights, allowing the judiciary to review and invalidate laws that infringe upon constitutional guarantees.

How it is asked

Focus on the doctrine of basic structure, the principles of judicial review, the evolution of fundamental rights through judicial activism, and the constitutional limitations on the exercise of executive and legislative power.
