The correct answer is Article 368.

Key Points

  • Part XX (Article 368) of the Indian Constitution outlines the constitutional amendment process.
  • This process protects the Constitution of India's sanctity and serves as a check on the arbitrary authority of the Indian Parliament.
  • Article 368 does not clearly forth the legislative process to be followed at various points of the change.
  • The Indian Constitution's Article 368 deals directly with constitutional amendments. 

Additional Information

  •  Article 365
    • According to Article 365, the President may declare that a situation has arisen in which the State's government cannot be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution if any State has failed to comply with or give effect to any directives provided in the exercise of the Union's executive power under any of the provisions of this Constitution.
  • Article 360
    • The Indian Constitution's Part XVIII (Articles 352-360) discusses the Emergency Provisions. Article 360 specifically addresses the current financial crisis. The Indian Constitution contains three different categories of emergency provisions. The remaining two are:
      • National Emergency - Article 352
      • Emergency resulting from a breakdown of the state's constitutional machinery - President's Rule - Article 356
  • Article 355
    • "It shall be the duty of the Union to defend every State from external invasion and internal unrest and to ensure that the government of every State is carried on in conformity with the provisions of this Constitution," states Article 355 of the Constitution.
