Solution

The answer is a. Statement 1 and 2 correct.

Statement 1 is correct because the procedure for amending the Constitution does indeed require a special majority, which serves as a limit on the power of the government. This ensures that changes to the Constitution cannot be made lightly or without significant consensus.

Statement 2 is also correct. The Supreme Court of India has indeed identified certain basic features of the Constitution that cannot be altered. These include the fact that India is a democratic, secular, and federal state, with a separation of powers, judicial review, and judicial independence. These features are considered fundamental to the identity of the Constitution.
