Dr. BR Ambedkar described which part of the Indian Constitution as its ‘novel features', while Granville Austin referred to it as the ‘Conscience of the Constitution’?
-
A.
Preamble
-
B.
Directive Principles of State Policy
-
C.
Fundamental Duties
-
D.
Fundamental Rights
Correct Answer:
B. Directive Principles of State Policy
Explanation:
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), found in Part IV of the Indian Constitution, are characterized by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as novel features because they establish a framework for social and economic democracy. While they are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by a court of law, they serve as essential guidelines for the government to promote the collective welfare of the community. Granville Austin further highlights their significance by describing the DPSP, alongside Fundamental Rights, as the Conscience of the Constitution, together representing the core philosophy and moral commitment to building a welfare state.
