How does the Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976 affect the wording of article 358?
The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976 affects the wording of article 358 by substituting some parts and adding new provisions. This is evident in the renumbering of clauses, substitution of terms like "while a Proclamation of Emergency" to "While a Proclamation of Emergency declaring that the security of India or any part of the territory thereof is threatened by war or by external aggression is in operation", and adding new provisions such as the one added by s. 52 (w.e.f. 3-1-1977).
