-
D.
61st Amendment Act
Correct Answer:
A. 42nd Amendment Act
Explanation:
The 42nd Amendment Act, passed in 1976 during the Emergency, is referred to as the Mini Constitution because it introduced extensive changes to the Indian Constitution. It added the words socialist, secular, and integrity to the Preamble, established the Fundamental Duties of citizens, and significantly altered the powers of the judiciary and the relationship between the Parliament and State Legislatures. Due to the sheer volume and impact of these amendments, it is considered a condensed version of the Constitution itself.
