Question

The Constitution of India was adopted

• A. by the Constituent Assembly
• B. by the Governor General
• C. by the Parliament
• D. by the President

Hint:

Three dates: Nov 26, 1949 (Adoption) → Jan 26, 1950 (Commencement) → Jan 28, 1950 (Supreme Court begins).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Adoption date and authority. The Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on 26 November 1949. Certain provisions came into force immediately; the rest commenced on 26 January 1950 (Republic Day).
Step 2: Why not the others? Governor General/President merely promulgated or gave effect to constitutional arrangements; Parliament did not exist before commencement. The act of {adoption} was the Assembly’s sovereign function.
Step 3: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Adopted by the Constituent Assembly (Option A).}} \]
