The Directive Principles of State Policy in the Indian Constitution are borrowed from which country's constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option is 3 i.e. The Constitution of Ireland.
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in the Indian Constitution are primarily borrowed from the Constitution of Ireland (Irish Free State). Inspired by the Irish nationalist movement, the Irish Constitution itself incorporated these principles from Spanish and French models.
The DPSP aim to guide the state in establishing social and economic democracy by promoting welfare, justice, and equitable distribution of resources.
While the Indian Constitution draws from various global sources—such as fundamental rights from the U.S. and parliamentary structure from the U.K.—the specific concept of non-justiciable principles directing state policy is a hallmark borrowed directly from the Irish model, reflecting a commitment to progressive governance.
