They knew the people would need to learn ways of citizenship, but the path to education did not lie in rule by a superior class of men, as the British insisted. Rather, it rested on the creation of a self-sustaining politics. The makers of the Indian Constitution instituted universal suffrage amid poverty, illiteracy, social heterogeneity, and centuries of tradition. They crafted a constitutional system that could respond to the problem of democratization under the most inhospitable conditions. On January 26, 1950, the Indian Constitution—the longest in the world—came into effect.</p><p class="wysiwyg-truncate-paragraph" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: currentcolor; --77: 0; --78: 0; --79: 0; --7a: 0; --7b: 0; --7c: 0; --7d: 0; --7e: 1; --7f: 1; --7g: ; --7h: ; --7i: ; --7j: proximity; --7k: ; --7l: ; --7m: ; --7n: ; --7o: ; --7p: ; --7q: ; --7r: ; --7s: ; --7t: 0px; --7u: #fff; --7v: rgb(147 197 253 / .5); --7w: 0 0 #0000; --7x: 0 0 #0000; --7y: 0 0 #0000; --7z: 0 0 #0000; --80: ; --81: ; --82: ; --83: ; --84: ; --85: ; --86: ; --87: ; --88: ; --89: ; --8a: ; --8b: ; --8c: ; --8d: ; --8e: ; --8f: ; --8g: ; --8h: ; margin: 1rem 0px 0px; font-family: var(--5g); font-size: var(--5h); font-stretch: var(--5i); font-weight: var(--5l); line-height: var(--5m); font-feature-settings: var(--5o); -webkit-font-smoothing: var(--5q); --74: var(--5r); color: rgb(13, 13, 13);">More than half of the world’s constitutions have been written in the past three decades.
