The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a welfare state.

  • Their ultimate aim is to establish social and economic democracy, ensuring justice and equity for all citizens.

  • They focus on areas like universal education, healthcare, equal pay for equal work, protection of workers, environment, and child welfare.

  • Though not legally enforceable, they reflect the ideals of a welfare state where the government actively works to promote social well-being and economic justice.
