My BaseClass Constructor is called whereas I have a constructor in derived class so when would I need to call base() ?

class BaseClass
{
    public BaseClass() {
        Debug.Print("BaseClass");
    }
}

class InheritedClass : BaseClass
{
    public InheritedClass()
    {
        Debug.Print("InheritedClass");
    }
}

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        InheritedClass inheritedClass = new InheritedClass();

    }

Output

'Inheritance.vshost.exe' (Managed (v4.0.30319)): Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Accessibility\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Accessibility.dll'
