A constitution needs to be amended from time to time because circumstances change and require suitable change in the constitution.

Amendments are the updates in the constitution. These amendments fix issues and add new features which are needed and change or remove those which are no longer suitable. For example, in the 42nd amendment several duties were introduced in our constitution. These amendments were necessary to implement due to changing nature of the country and this can be seen through the social, economical and political perspectives. Hence the Indian constitution has been amended time to time to keep up with changes happening in our country.
