The story of Articles 3 and 4 of Constitution


By Neville Ladduwahetty- 

The Supreme Court in its determination on the 19th Amendment stated that it "… came to a conclusion that the transfer, relinquishment or removal of a power attributed to one organ of government to another organ or body would be inconsistent with Article 3 read with Article 4 of the Constitution. Though Article 4 provided the form and manner of exercise of the sovereignty of the people, the ultimate act or decision of his executive functions must be retained by the President".
