Togas they constitute the Parliament. British Parliament is credited with powers to do 'anything but make a man a woman', implying thereby that the limits of nature are the limits of British Parliament. The question of its duly passed law being unconstitutional does not arise. In contrast, in India s in the United States, it is the people who are sovereignty and supreme. The representative government is limited by the Constitution.
Various authorities hold only delegated powers, delegated by the people through the Constitution.
A law duly passed by the legislature and assented to by the Head of the State has to be proved true on the touch stone, the Constitution, as and when so challenged. The competent authority to conduct this test is the judiciary. The Constitution itself is alterable by only a special mode of legislation so as, according to our Supreme Court, not to affect its 'basic structure'. The Head of the State, President, is the Chief Executive and, unlike the US president, a part of Parliament. We may say that while the skeleton is British, the soul is American, and the functioning typically Indian as has been amply demonstrated in the 1979 crisis.
