Answer:

It is essential to assume a constant rate of radioactive decay because it the rate of radioactive decay would have been changing continuously , then it would have been extremely difficult to find the age of a radioactive element or any component and structure that has radioactive element in it. It is fundamental assumption in radioactive dating
