Directive Principles of State Policy
Correct Answer:
D. Directive Principles of State Policy
Explanation:
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar characterized the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) as a "novel feature" of the Indian Constitution because they outline the socio-economic goals of the state. These principles, found in Part IV (Articles 36-51), serve as guidelines for the government to ensure social and economic justice. Similarly, the constitutional scholar Granville Austin described the DPSP along with Fundamental Rights as the "Conscience of the Constitution," emphasizing their role in fostering a social revolution and protecting individual liberties. While Fundamental Rights are legally enforceable, the Directive Principles are fundamental to the country's governance, aiming to establish a welfare state.
