Important decisions taken by the Constituent Assembly unanimously during the making of the constitution are given below:
1. The provision related to union:
For discussions on the federal structure in the constituent assembly, a Federal Power Committee was formed. The chairperson of this committee was Pt. Jawahar Lai Nehru. The first meeting of this committee was held in 1947 in which there was a long discussion about federal structure, which continued till November 1949.
The provision of federal structure was very serious under which on one hand, the assembly had to satisfy the representatives of union and on other hand, the Assembly had to satisfy the representatives from provinces. This issue was settled through the principle of unanimosity because pressure and force sometimes do no work.
2. The provision related to language issue:
There was a dispute about National language. Many efforts were made during 3 years to solve this matter. After a long and thorough discussion, the principle of unanimosity was adopted and Hindi was adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the National language.
3. The provisions related to parliament:
Many opinions and proposals regarding establishment of parliament were moved before the Constituent Assembly by different classes and members. All the proposals and viewpoints were thought over sympathetically. And at last, the theory of unanimosity was adopted and the subjects like naming the houses, bicameral system and the term of the house were decided unanimously.
4. Provision of introduction (Preamble):
Many points were presented about introduction of the Constitution. There was lack of similarity in these proposals. But after a long discussion, the Preamble of the constitution prepared by the Drafting Committee was accepted unanimously.
