The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Correct Answer:

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1 - Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Assertion: Fundamental Rights are different from other rights available to us
Reason: The ordinary legal rights are protected and enforced by ordinary law, and Fundamental Rights are protected and guaranteed by the constitution of the country.

The Reason correctly explains why Fundamental Rights are different from other rights, as it highlights the superior protection and guarantee provided by the Constitution.

Fundamental Rights are different from other rights available to us. While ordinary legal rights are protected and enforced by ordinary law, Fundamental Rights are protected and guaranteed by the constitution of the country. Ordinary rights may be changed by the legislature by the ordinary process of law-making, but a fundamental right may only be changed by amending the Constitution itself. Besides this, no organ of the government can act in a manner that violates them.
