Some basic structures of the constitution as:

4. Federal character of the Constitution
5. Secular character of the Constitution

Over time, many other features have also been added to this list of basic structure features. Some of them are:

• Rule of law
• Judicial review
• Parliamentary system
• Rule of equality
• Harmony and balance between the Fundamental Rights and DPSP
• Free and fair elections
• Limited power of the parliament to amend the Constitution
• Power of the Supreme Court under Articles 32, 136, 142 and 147

Any law or amendment that violates these principles can be struck down by the SC on the grounds that they distort the basic structure of the Constitution.
