Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. India was a huge and diverse country. It was not an easy

task to frame a Constitution keeping in mind the needs of all the various

regions and groups.

2. The Indian people had lived as subjects till then. They

were now coming up to the status of citizens.

3. There was a lot of disturbance due to the partition of

the country on the basis of religion. India and Pakistan were separated.

4. There were a number of princely states. Integration of

states was a difficult task.

5. It was a long process. Earlier there were 389 members in

the Constituent Assembly which was set up to frame the Constitution. Later the

number was reduced to 299 after the withdrawal of the Muslim League members. 13

committees were set up to prepare the draft of the Constitution. This was

discussed in detail by the people, press, provincial assemblies and the

Constituent Assembly. It took 2 years, 11 months and 18 days to frame the

Constitution.
