The question asks for the correct method to change any provision of the Constitution of India.
Constitutional Amendment Method
The Constitution of India outlines a specific procedure for its amendment, which is distinct from ordinary legislation or executive actions. This procedure is detailed in Article 368 of the Constitution.
Analyzing Amendment Options
- Presidential Ordinance: This is a temporary law made by the President during recess of Parliament. It cannot amend the Constitution.
- Executive Order: These are directives issued by the executive branch (President or Government). They do not have the power to alter constitutional provisions.
- Constitutional Amendment: This is the constitutionally prescribed method for changing any part of the Indian Constitution. It involves a special procedure requiring a special majority in both houses of Parliament.
- Supreme Court Approval: While the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution and can review amendments for validity, its approval is not the method *of* amendment itself. The Court can strike down amendments if they violate the 'basic structure' of the Constitution, but it doesn't change the provisions.
Correctness of Constitutional Amendment
Therefore, the only correct method to change any provision of the Constitution of India is through a Constitutional Amendment as per Article 368.
