Q1. Compared with Ordinary Amendment passage requiring bicameral two‑thirds majorities which narrower band is required additionally when rewriting the Fundamental Rights outlined in Article‑239 ?
Answer: Two thirds majorities plus majority approval of Provincial Assemblies pursuant to enumerated guarantees
Explanation: Under Article 239 of the 1973 Constitution, amendments affecting the Federal Legislative List require a two-thirds majority in both the National Assembly and the Senate, and amendments affecting provinces additionally require approval by a majority of the four Provincial Assemblies. This multi-tier requirement protects federalism and fundamental rights from simple parliamentary majority changes.
