Which of the following statements accurately highlights a core difference between Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) in India?
Directive Principles of State Policy — question ID 586
Options
A.
B.
Explanation
Fundamental Rights are generally negative obligations on the state because they restrict its authority over citizens, preventing arbitrary state action. Conversely, Directive Principles of State Policy are positive instructions that urge the state to perform certain welfare tasks. Fundamental Rights are legally enforceable (justiciable) and promote individualistic welfare, whereas DPSPs carry moral and political sanctions, require legislation to be implemented, and promote community welfare.
