- Negotiation of Article 39 in the Constituent Assembly
Negotiation of Article 39 in the Constituent Assembly
The Advisory Committee referred its Supplementary Report on Fundamental Rights to the Constituent Assembly for consideration. At this point, the relevant clause is now Clause 3. This report was referred to the Constitutional Adviser for incorporation into the draft Constitution before it was considered by the Assembly. The Drafting Committee's draft Constitution came up for consideration in the Assembly in November 1948. At this point, the relevant article is Article 31.
PACT: Mini Models
This negotiation contains a selection of mini-models designed to provide an insight into the ongoing work of PACT and to demonstrate Quill's approach to visualising the archive material and tracking the process of negotiation. It differs from our usual approach in that we will be presenting only certain documents and moments in isolation, rather than including everything tabled during the course of a negotiation. This collection is still under construction, and we will be regularly adding small amounts of new material.
