Which of the following amendment/s in the Indian Constitution was/were equated with 'Mini Constitution' ?
Answer: B
The amendment called the 'Mini Constitution' is the 42nd Amendment.
Passed in 1976 during the Emergency, the 42nd Amendment Act made the widest changes the Constitution has ever undergone. It added 'socialist', 'secular' and 'integrity' to the Preamble, inserted the Fundamental Duties, added new Directive Principles, moved subjects such as education and forests to the Concurrent List, and curtailed judicial review. Its sweep earned it the name 'Mini Constitution'.
The 24th and 25th Amendments (1971) dealt with Parliament's power to amend Fundamental Rights and with property rights; the 44th (1978) reversed much of the 42nd; the 73rd and 74th (1992) created constitutional local government.
