1) Brief knowledge of the Constitution of the various countries, deemed important owing to their current status or the fact that the Indian Constitution draws implicitly or explicitly from them.

2) Comparison drawn vis-a-vis features of the Constitution (for example: Fundamental Rights, DPSPs, Federalism et al).

2. British Constitution

2.1. Salient Features

2.1.1. Unwritten

One of the most important features of the British Constitution is its unwritten character. There is no codified or structured document which may be called as the British Constitution unlike in India, which is codified into various parts and schedules. Nevertheless many sources of the constitutional law are written and these together with conventions and political traditions form the British Constitution.

Indian Constitution, in comparison, is the lengthiest written constitution in the world.

2.1.2. Evolutionary

The British Constitution is a specimen of evolutionary development. It was never framed by any constituent assembly. It has an unbroken continuity of development over a period of more than a thousand years. It is said that the British Constitution is a product of wisdom and chance.

The Indian Constitution has certain similarities as well as differences on this particular aspect. It differs from the British Constitution to the extent that it is a written document and has well defined provisions. However, it too is open to evolution, given that the provision of amendment is kept such, so as to allow for the Constitution to evolve according to the need and sensibilities of the time.
