Q.State True/False about a constitution (a-d).

Each statement can be checked against what the chapter actually says about what a constitution is, whether non-democracies can have one, whether it deals with values, and whether it shapes identity.

1. "Constitutions are written documents about formation and power of the government" is False as a universal claim: while in most countries the constitution is indeed one compact written document, the chapter explicitly notes the United Kingdom has no single such document — instead a series of documents and conventions, taken together, are referred to as its constitution. A constitution also does more than describe formation and power — it can express aspirations and identity too.
2. "Constitutions exist and are required only in democratic countries" is False: the chapter's own discussion of specifying decision-making power notes that even a system where a single political party held ultimate authority — the erstwhile Soviet Union is the chapter's own example — still had a constitution specifying that allocation of power, even though the process wasn't democratic in the sense of the people directly deciding.
3. "Constitution is a legal document that does not deal with ideals and values" is False: the chapter is explicit that many modern constitutions, India's especially, go well beyond bare rules to enable and even legally require government to pursue a society's aspirations and goals — reflected in the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, and Directive Principles of State Policy.
4. "A constitution gives its citizens a new identity" is True: the chapter's discussion of "fundamental identity of a people" explains that a collection of individuals only becomes one political community — with a shared political and moral identity — by agreeing to a common constitution in the first place.
