-
A.
USA
-
B.
Ireland
-
C.
UK
-
D.
Canada
Correct Answer:
B. Ireland
Explanation:
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), detailed in Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Indian Constitution, were inspired by the Constitution of Ireland (1937). These principles serve as fundamental guidelines for the government to establish a social and economic democracy and a welfare state. Although they are non-justiciable—meaning they cannot be enforced by a court of law—the State is constitutionally obligated to apply these ideals when creating legislation and policies. While the Irish Constitution was the direct source for India, Ireland itself had originally borrowed the concept from the Spanish Constitution.
