Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Soviet Union.
The concept of Fundamental Duties in India was borrowed from the Constitution of the former Soviet Union. Introduced through the 42nd Amendment in 1976, these duties are a set of moral obligations for citizens to promote patriotism, respect for the Constitution, and social harmony. While the Indian Constitution originally emphasised fundamental rights, the inclusion of duties aimed to balance rights with responsibilities, encouraging citizens to contribute positively to national development, uphold the rule of law, and foster a sense of civic and ethical responsibility.
