CR.UC.56

6. As there may be unforeseen difficulties during the transitional period, there should be a clause in the Constitution on the following lines :
The Federal Parliament may, notwithstanding anything contained in Part X, by Act—
(a) direct that this Constitution, except the provisions of the said Part and of this clause, shall, during such period, if any, as may be specified in the Act, have effect subject to such adaptations and modifications as may be so specified;
(b) make such other provisions for the purpose of removing any such difficulties as aforesaid as may be specified in the Act.
No Act shall be made under this clause after the expiration of three years from the commencement of this Constitution.

[Note: The-removal-of-difficulties clause is now quite usual: see, for example, section 310 of the Government of India Act, 1935. The period of three years has been borrowed from article 51 of the Irish Constitution. This clause will make the process of amendment comparatively easy during the first three years.]
