Question:
Which of the following Fundamental Rights was there in the original Constitution but does not exist at present?
Options:
Right of Freedom of Speech
Right against exploitation
Right to Property
All of the above
Correct Answer:
Right to Property
Explanation:
Right to Property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights. Since this Right created a lot of problems in the way of attaining the goal of socialism and equitable distribution of wealth, it was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights in 1978 by the 44th constitutional amendment. The Fundamental Right to Property enjoys the unique distinction of not only being the second most contentious provision in the drafting of the Constitution, but also the most amended provision, and the only fundamental right to be ultimately abolished in 1978.
