Recently got a latest copy of the #US Constitution - being the country whose Presidential system many nations copied. Didn’t realize just how small a doc it is - 30 small pages in this edition.
235 years old .Like a footnote compared to the Indian Constitution. Is India’s Constitution perhaps too detailed…
Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words – “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens.
