Answer:
The
Constitution of our country was framed by the Constituent Assembly which was
constituted in 1946 under the provisions of the Cabinet Mission Plan. This Assembly
originally had 389 members. Of them, most were elected by the Provincial
Assemblies and some were nominated by the rulers of the native states.
As a result of the partition of the country, its membership was reduced
to 308 in 1947. This
Assembly included eminent persons like Dr
Rajendra Prasad, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad, Dr BR Ambedkar, KM Munshi, Rajagopalachari, HC Mookherjee,
Baldev Singh etc. Women members like Sarojini Naidu, G Durgabai Deshmukh etc
also played an important role in the Constituent Assembly. When the Constitution
was completed it had only 299 members in the Assembly.
