Question
How were the discussions within the Constituent Assembly influenced by the opinions expressed by the people? Explain.
Solution
The discussions within the Constituent Assembly were also influenced by the public opinions. The arguments of different sections were published in newspapers and there was a public debate on all the proposals. In this way criticism and counter criticisms in the process had a great impact on the consensus that was ultimately reached on specific issues. Public was also asked for submissions to create a sense of collective participations. Hundreds of responses came. Religious minorities asked for special safeguards as well.
