I don\u2019t know if a person who is an enthusiast of the Indian freedom struggle would like to call Britain as Great Britain. But the empire is great in some aspects. Most of the system we follow, the most of the governing structure we developed, are adopted from the British system of polity. If India is named to be the largest democracy in the world, the contribution of Britain in transforming India to be the largest democracy is very much. The largest and most developed constitution in the world , the Indian constitution is greatly influenced and transformed by the constitutional experiments under the British crown. Through this blog let us look into the Constitutional Experiments under the British Crown.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MWTnuS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Register in to get the latest Exam Study Materials, PDFs, Video Lessons, Mock Tests!

The Indian constitution&#8217;s development is not just the product of the discussions of the constitution assembly formed in India in the late 1930s. The history of the Indian constitution and its development starts from the century\u2019s old time.
