It meticulously outlines the powers bestowed upon Parliament by Article 368, emphasizing the delicate balance between flexibility and rigidity inherent in the process. From initiation to enactment, each step is dissected, highlighting the significance of special majorities, ratification, and presidential assent in the amendment journey.
