Enforceable constitutional rights, their limits, protective exceptions and the courts' remedies.
Why is this provision here?
The provision links named legislation to a constitutional protective schedule, while judicial review of the constitutional change remains subject to the applicable Supreme Court principles.
Article 31B was introduced in its present subject framework by Amendment 1 (1951), after the original Constitution. The verified sources are the official edition and the linked Amendment Act and Bill statement. Original 1946–1950 Assembly debates predate this insertion and are not presented as its direct drafting reason. The explanation of function above is editorial; the Bill statement supplies the attributed legislative reasons for the later proposal.
The explanation of purpose is an editorial reading of the provision. A drafting motive is attributed only where a linked historical source supports it.
