Abstract
The present article is devoted to the study of the main problems dealing with the drafting, adoption and further development of the Constitution of India of 1950. Various issues of its framing and designing are raised. The specifics of the procedures and limits of constitutional review are of undoubted interest to any lawyer, and the Constitution of India in this regard has a number of characteristic features. A general picture of Constitution’s main features and peculiarities is demonstrated, while its great volume does not permit to go into detail in a relatively short article. Some results of the historical path of the Constitution of India are summed up.
