World Law Library

Search constitutions from 197 countries and territories, the full Part-by-Part and Schedule-by-Schedule structure of the Constitution of India, and Indian central Acts down to the section level — instantly, with no page reloads. Every entry links to a real primary or academic source; nothing here is a substitute for reading the actual statute.

Please note: Constitution years and legal-system classifications are reference metadata, not verbatim legal text. Indian Act sections show section numbers and subject titles only — always read the full section on India Code before relying on it, and consult an advocate for anything case-specific. For side-by-side comparison of full constitutional text across countries, Constitute Project (Comparative Constitutions Project, built with Google Ideas) is the authoritative academic resource — each country entry below also links to a readable article for quick orientation.

What's In This Library

This tool indexes three things: a reference entry for the constitution of every sovereign state and widely-recognised territory (197 in total — adoption year, legal system family, and a link to read it), a full Part-by-Part and Schedule-by-Schedule breakdown of the Constitution of India (26 Parts, 12 Schedules), and a section-level index of 41 major Indian central Acts — from the 2023 criminal law reforms (BNS, BNSS, BSA) through family law, labour law, IP, tax, and banking statutes. More Acts are added in batches over time; see the note below on coverage.

How Search Works

Typing filters results instantly as you type — across country names, legal systems, Act names, Constitution of India Parts/Schedules, and section numbers/titles at once. Use the tabs to narrow to just Constitutions, the detailed Constitution of India breakdown, Acts, or Sections, and the dropdowns to filter by region or by a specific Indian Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the full text of every constitution and Act available here?

No — this is a reference index, not a text repository. Each entry links out to a genuine primary or academic source (India Code for Indian statutes, Wikipedia's constitutional article or Constitute Project for other countries) where the actual text can be read in full.

Can I rely on this for a court filing?

No. Always verify against the official gazette/government source and consult a licensed advocate — this tool is for quick reference and orientation, not citation-grade legal research.

Does this cover every Indian Act?

Not yet — India Code lists 847 central Acts; this library currently indexes 41 of the most commonly referenced ones, each with its most-searched sections. More are added in batches over time, prioritising Acts most relevant to the practice areas this firm handles.
