Which of the following is a feature of fundamental duties mentioned in the the Indian Constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The Constitution does not provide for their direct enforcement.
- Fundamental duties are a set of moral obligations that are enshrined in Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution, introduced by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976.
- These duties are outlined in Article 51A and are considered fundamental to the stability and growth of the Indian democratic society.
- However, unlike legally enforceable fundamental rights, fundamental duties are not enforceable by law.
- This means that while citizens are expected to uphold these duties for the betterment of society, there are no legal consequences for failing to fulfil them.
