Why is the 42nd amendment called a ‘mini Constitution’?
The 42nd amendment was a wide ranging amendment affecting large parts of the constitution. It was also an attempt to override the ruling of the Supreme Court given in the Keshvananda Bharati case. Duration of the Lok Sabha was extended from five to six years. This amendment put restrictions on the review powers of the Judiciary. The amendment made changes to the Preamble, to the seventh schedule of the Constitution, and to 53 articles of the constitution. Due to these voluminous changes in the Constituion, 42nd amendment was called a mini constitution.
