The amending power of the Parliament is set forth in which one of the following Articles of the Constitution of India?

The correct answer is
Article 368

Amending Power: Article 368 Focus

The authority of the Parliament to amend the Constitution of India is explicitly defined in Article 368.

  • Article 368: This article provides the procedure and conditions under which the Parliament can amend the Constitution.
  • Article 360: This article deals with the imposition of the Financial Emergency. It does not relate to the Parliament's amending powers.
  • Article 13(2): This article prohibits the State from making any law that abrogates or is inconsistent with the fundamental rights guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution. It acts as a check on legislative power, not the power to amend.
  • Article 370: This article provided temporary provisions concerning the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is unrelated to the general amending power of the Parliament.

Based on these provisions, Article 368 is the correct Article detailing the Parliament's amending power.
