In India sovereignty lies with

  • A.The Constitution
  • B.The Supreme Court
  • C.The Parliament
  • D.The People

Answer: D

In India sovereignty lies with the people.

The Preamble begins with the words We, the People of India, and declares that the people gave the Constitution to themselves. The Constitution derives its authority from the people, and all organs of the State exercise power that the people have granted.

The Constitution itself is the supreme law but not the holder of sovereignty. The Supreme Court and the Parliament are bodies set up by the Constitution and act within its limits, which is why neither can be called sovereign, as Parliament is in Britain.
