Directive Principles of State Policy were adopted in India's constitution from the constitution of which country?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Irish constitution
The Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV, Articles 36–51) are guidelines that the State must keep in mind while making laws and policies, such as equal pay for equal work, free legal aid and a living wage for workers. Unlike the Fundamental Rights, they cannot be enforced in a court. The framers took this idea from the Constitution of Ireland (1937), which has its own ‘Directive Principles of Social Policy’.
