Which of the following amendments to the Indian Constitution made the Right to Property a Legal Right in place of a Fundamental Right?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 44th.
The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 to the Indian Constitution converted the Right to Property from a Fundamental Right into a Legal Right. Prior to this amendment, the Right to Property was enshrined as a Fundamental Right under Article 31. The 44th Amendment Act, however, shifted it to Article 300A under the category of Legal Rights, which means it is now protected under the law but does not have the same level of constitutional protection as Fundamental Rights.
