Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s ideas on constitutionalism were influenced by his experiences as a social reformer, his deep understanding of the principles of liberty, equality, and justice, and his commitment to eradicating social inequalities.
According to Ambedkar, the primary goal of a constitution should be to achieve social justice and equality. He emphasized the protection of individual rights and liberties. He believed that fundamental rights were essential for protecting the rights of individuals and argued that fundamental rights should be enshrined in the Constitution and that they should be enforceable by the courts.
Ambedkar stressed the separation of powers among the branches of government to ensure checks and balances. He also focused on the importance of an independent judiciary to uphold the principles of justice and protect the rights of citizens.
Ambedkar believed constitutionalism should not be limited to the legal framework but should also encompass social reform and education.
