DPSPs and Fundamental Duties MCQs

All three pairs are correctly matched, not just one. Each provision is correctly placed in its constitutional category.

All three pairs are correctly matched, not just two. Article 50 (DPSP), Article 51A(f) (Fundamental Duty), and Article 24 (Fundamental Right) all correspond correctly.

All three pairs are correctly matched. Article 50 enjoins separation of judiciary from executive as a DPSP, Article 51A(f) lists preserving composite culture as a Fundamental Duty, and Article 24 prohibits child labour in factories as a Fundamental Right.

The Right to Equality (Articles 14-18) deals with equal protection, prohibition of discrimination and abolition of untouchability. It does not directly address concentration of wealth.

The Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22) deals with freedoms of speech, assembly, movement, etc. It does not address wealth concentration.

While concentration of wealth may undermine welfare, the Constitution specifically addresses this through Articles 39(b) and (c) in the DPSPs, not through a general concept of welfare.

Statement 1 is directly contradicted by Article 37, which expressly states that DPSPs shall not be enforceable by any court.

While Statement 2 is correct, Statement 3 is also correct. DPSPs are intended to guide the State in making laws and policies, as stated in Article 37.

Statement 1 is incorrect. Article 37 makes DPSPs non-justiciable. Statement 3 is correct, but combining it with Statement 1 creates an incorrect pairing.

Fundamental Rights protect individual liberties against State action. While vital for democracy, they do not declare the welfare-state ideal in the way DPSPs do.

The Preamble declares justice, liberty, equality and fraternity as guiding values, but the detailed welfare-state obligations are found in Part IV, not the Preamble.

The Seventh Schedule deals with distribution of legislative powers between the Union and States through three lists and is unrelated to the welfare-state ideal.

This is incomplete. The Fundamental Duties also reflect UDHR principles, particularly Article 29 of the UDHR which speaks of duties of individuals toward the community.

This is incomplete. Both the Preamble and Fundamental Duties also reflect UDHR ideals of dignity, equality and community obligations.

This is incomplete. The DPSPs reflect UDHR provisions on social security, work, education and adequate standard of living, which are also part of the UDHR framework.

The Preamble mentions justice but does not specifically direct the separation of judiciary from the executive.

The Seventh Schedule distributes legislative subjects between the Union, States and Concurrent lists. It does not enjoin the separation of judiciary from the executive.

While separation of judiciary may have evolved through practice, it is specifically enjoined by Article 50 as a Directive Principle, not merely a matter of convention.

Rights exist within a social framework and are not independent of society. They require a system of mutual obligations and duties to be meaningful and enforceable.

Both rights and duties contribute to personality development and civic life. Duties promote discipline, social harmony and responsible citizenship alongside rights.

Both rights and duties are important for State stability. Rights protect citizens against State overreach while duties promote responsible citizenship. Neither alone suffices.

The Constitution does not provide any specific legislative machinery for the enforcement of Fundamental Duties. Parliament may enact laws, but no mandatory process is constitutionally prescribed.

Fundamental Duties under Article 51A are moral obligations rather than legal duties with correlative rights. They do not create enforceable legal relationships in the traditional jurisprudential sense.

Neither statement is correct. There is no constitutionally prescribed legislative enforcement mechanism, and Fundamental Duties are not framed as correlative legal duties.

DPSPs are not legally binding limitations on legislative power. Article 37 explicitly says they shall not be enforceable by any court, so they cannot operate as constitutional prohibitions on legislation.

DPSPs guide executive policy but do not constitute binding limitations on executive function in the way Fundamental Rights do.

DPSPs are guiding principles, not judicially enforceable limits. Unlike Fundamental Rights which impose direct limitations, DPSPs inform and inspire governance without operating as legal restrictions.

Equal pay for equal work (Article 39(d)) was part of the original Constitution and was not added by the 42nd Amendment.

The right to work, education and public assistance is covered under Article 41, which was part of the original Constitution and not introduced by the 42nd Amendment.

Securing a living wage and humane conditions of work (Article 43) was part of the original Constitution and was not added by the 42nd Amendment.

The Preamble sets out broad ideals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity but does not contain the detailed welfare-state obligations found in the DPSPs.

Fundamental Rights protect individual liberties and are justiciable, but they do not enshrine the welfare-state ideal. The welfare orientation is found in DPSPs.

The Seventh Schedule distributes legislative subjects between the Union and States through three lists. It is not concerned with the welfare-state ideal.

While Statement 1 is correct, Statement 2 is also correct. Article 37 explicitly declares DPSPs to be non-justiciable.

While Statement 2 is correct, Statement 1 is also correct. DPSPs aim to establish social and economic democracy as a complement to political democracy secured by Fundamental Rights.

Both statements are well-established constitutional positions. DPSPs spell out socio-economic democracy and are expressly non-justiciable under Article 37.
