DIt did not insert any new articles ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) It did not insert any new articles — It is wrong to say the 7th Amendment did not insert any new articles.
Explanation
★It is wrong to say the 7th Amendment did not insert any new articles.
★The 7th Amendment in fact inserted several new articles into the Constitution.
★These included Articles 258A, 290A, 298, 350A, 350B, 371, 372A and 378A.
★It was enacted in 1956 to give effect to the States Reorganisation Act of that year.
★It ended the old A, B, C and D grouping of states and reorganised them on a linguistic basis.
★It also allowed a common High Court for two or more states and one governor for several states.
★So only the claim that it inserted no new articles is incorrect.
