Options:

Principle of Liberty

Principle of Equality

Directive Principles of State Policy

Principle of Fraternity

Correct Answer:

Directive Principles of State Policy

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Directive Principles of State Policy

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) in the Indian Constitution were not adopted from the French Constitution. Instead, they were inspired by the Irish Constitution (specifically, the Constitution of Ireland, 1937).

Provisions adopted from the French Constitution include:

  • Liberty

  • Equality

  • Fraternity

These three ideals come from the French Revolution and are reflected in the Preamble to the Indian Constitution.
