The Constitutional Entrenchment of Minority Rights under the Soulbury Constitution of 1947 A Jurisprudential and Comparative Exposition

This scholarly exposition investigates the multi-dimensional safeguards for minority rights enshrined under the Soulbury Constitution of 1947. It meticulously examines Section 29(2), relevant institutional frameworks, electoral arrangements, and jurisprudential mechanisms that influenced the trajectory of minority representation and legal protection in Ceylon. Emphasis is placed on constitutional entrenchment, structural checks, and judicial interpretation within a post-colonial context. This work further explores the systemic dismantling of these protections under subsequent regimes and argues for constitutional renewal
