Description
Grant of an amending power to the future generations which can only make inconsequential changes to the Constitution but which cannot amend some basic features of the Constitution, is not at all a satisfactory solution. What the future generations will require more is the amendment of the basic features of the Constitution because only that can meet their aspirations and requirements, if at all needed. It is only the non-amendability of the basic features of the Constitution which can lead to a revolution and not of the inconsequential provisions. Allowing the future generations with the power only to make inconsequential changes in the Constitution and not the real ones even if they need, would mean as if they are being placated with toy weapons while the real weapon is buried deep inside the graveyards of the dead people of the older generations.
