The Indian Constitution has taken following features from the Constitutions of countries around the world:

- Directive principles of state policy (Ireland)
- Nomination of Rajya Sabha Members
- Fundamental Duties (Russia)
- Parliamentary Government (UK)
- Single Citizenship (UK)

Makers of our constitution gathered the best features of all the existing constitutions and modified them with a view to avoid the faults that have been disclosed in their constitution. The ideas have been modified as per the need of our country. For example, to avoid the dead lock condition arising due to differences between Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, provision of joint sitting was incorporated.
