Constitution of India
DR. B R Ambedkar
14 Apr 1891 - 6 Dec 1956
The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It is a living document, an instrument which makes the government system work. It
lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles and the
duties of citizens.
It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign
country in the world, containing 448 articles in 25parts,
12schedules, 5 appendices and 98
amendments (out of 120 Constitution Amendment Bills). Besides the English version, there is an official Hindi translation. Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is widely regarded as the chief architect of
the Indian Constitution.
Constitution of Africa
Nelson Mandela
18 July 1918 - 5 Dec 2013
The Constitution of South Africa is the supreme law of the country of South Africa. It provides the legal foundation for the existence of the republic, sets out the rights and duties of its citizens, and defines the structure of the government. The current constitution, the country's fifth, was drawn up by the Parliament elected in 1994 in the first non-racial elections.
It was promulgated by President Nelson Mandela on 10 December 1996 and came into effect on 4 February 1997, replacing the Interim Constitution of 1993.
Since 1996, the Constitution has been amended by seventeen
amendment acts. The Constitution is formally entitled the "Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,
1996."
It was previously also numbered as if it were an Act of Parliament—Act No. 108 of 1996—but, since
the passage of the Citation of Constitutional Laws Act, neither it nor the acts amending
it are allocated act numbers.
