• Statement 1 is correct: There are many amendments that have been made as a result of the consensus among the political parties. This consensus reflected the prevailing political philosophy and aspirations of the society. Example- The Anti-defection amendment (52nd amendment), the 61st amendment bringing down the minimum age for voting from 21 to 18 years, the 73rd and the 74th amendments, etc.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: A number of amendments are a product of different interpretations of the Constitution given by the judiciary and the government of the day. When these clashed, the Parliament had to insert an amendment underlining one particular interpretation as the authentic one. In the period 1970-1975, the Parliament repeatedly made amendments to overcome the adverse interpretations by the judiciary.
• Statement 3 is incorrect: All amendments to the Constitution are initiated only in the Parliament. Besides the special majority in the Parliament, no outside agency like a constitution commission or a separate body is required for amending the Constitution.
