The longest written Constitution in the world belongs to which country?

Everyone knows India is the world’s largest democracy. But did you know it also has the world’s largest constitution?

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. The document lays down the framework demarcating fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written constitution of any country on earth. B. R. Ambedkar, chairman of the drafting committee, is widely considered to be its chief architect.

With 449 articles, 12 schedules, 25 parts, 5 appendices and 101 amendments, the Indian Constitution is the longest written constitution in the world. At 145,000 words, it is the longest written constitution of any sovereign state in the world. The US constitution, by contrast, has only 4,400 words.
