Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : IV

The Correct Answer is IV.

• The Directive Principles of State Policy figure in Part IV of the Constitution of India.
• The Guidelines or 15 Principles given to the federal institutions regulating the State of India are the Directive Principles of State Policy of India, to be held in quotation when framing laws and policies.
• These provide that Part IV of the Indian Constitution is not enforceable by any court, but the principles laid down therein are taken into account in the country's governance, making it the responsibility of the State to enforce certain principles in the development of laws to create a just society in the country.
• The principles were inspired by the Directive Principles of Social Justice, Economic Welfare, Foreign Policy and Legal and Administrative Matters in the Constitution of Ireland.
• The values of the Directive are categorized under the following categories: economic and socialist, political and administrative, legal and judicial, environmental, monument preservation, peace and security.

• Fundamental rights are those rights that are important for the people of India to grow mentally, morally and spiritually. Since these rights are necessary or essential for individual life and all-round growth, they are called 'Fundamental Rights'. These are enshrined in the Constitution of India, Part III (Articles 12 to 35).
• Part VIII – The Union Territories
• Part III – Fundamental Rights
