Options
A.
B.
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because the Constitution distinguishes between civic duties (like respecting the National Flag and National Anthem) and moral duties (like cherishing the noble ideals of our freedom struggle). Statement 2 is incorrect because Fundamental Duties are non-justiciable and cannot be directly enforced by courts, though Parliament has the power to enforce them by enacting appropriate laws.
