All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws.
An amendment of the Constitution can be initiated only by the introduction of a bill for the purpose in either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha) and not in the state legislatures. The bill can be introduced either by a minister or by a private member and does not require prior permission of the president.
Part-xx Article 368 (1) of the Constitution of India grants constituent power to make formal amendments and empowers Parliament to amend the Constitution by way of addition, variation or repeal of any provision ing to the procedure laid down therein, which is different from the procedure for ordinary legislation.
To amend the Constitution, two-thirds of both houses of the U.S. Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) or two-thirds of the states (34 states, or more) must propose the amendment. Then, three-fourths of the states (38 states, or more) must ratify, or approve, the amendment.
The Indian Parliament is competent to make laws on matters enumerated in the Union List. State Legislatures are competent to make laws on matters enumerated in the State List.
The Parliament is the supreme law making body of the Indian Nation. It makes law as per needs and for welfare of the people. It has power to carry out amendments in existing laws to make them time operable and effective. Parliament can amend the constitution itself subject to certain limitations.
An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
The correct answer is Parliament. The constitution of India can be amended. Amending the constitution is the process of making changes to the nation's fundamental law or supreme law. Parliament alone has the power to make changes to the Constitution.
Congress must call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states (i.e., 34 of 50 states). Amendments proposed by Congress or convention become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of, or conventions in, three-fourths of the states (i.e., 38 of 50 states).
