Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. USSR.

The first country to incorporate Fundamental Duties in its Constitution was the Soviet Union (USSR).

The 1936 Constitution of the USSR, also known as the 'Stalin Constitution,' included a section on the duties of citizens.

These duties were designed to ensure that citizens contributed to the socialist state and adhered to its principles.

This concept of fundamental duties influenced other countries, including India, which later incorporated Fundamental Duties into its Constitution with the 42nd Amendment in 1976.
