Explanation

Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution under Article 368. Through various constitutional amendments (especially before the Kesavananda Bharati judgment), Parliament attempted to curb judicial review by adding clauses like Article 31C and the Ninth Schedule. The State Legislature, Council of State, and Legislative Council do not have constitutional amendment powers.
