• An amendment of the Constitution can be initiated only by the introduction of a bill for the purpose in either House of Parliament and not in the state legislatures. Thus, statement 1 is wrong. • Article 3 of Indian Constitution provides for the formation of new States and for the alteration of boundaries or names of existing States in India. However there are 2 conditions in this regard: - a bill contemplating the above changes can be introduced in the Parliament only with the prior recommendation of the President. Thus, statement 2 is correct. - before recommending the bill, the President has to refer the same to the state legislature concerned for expressing its views within a specified period. • Representation of states in Parliament is related to the federal structure of the polity can be amended by a special majority of the Parliament and also with the consent of half of the state legislatures by a simple majority. Thus, statement 3 is not correct.
