‘Economic Justice’ as one of the objectives of Indian Constitution has been provided in
- A.The Preamble and Fundamental Rights
- B.The Preamble and the Directive Principles of State Policy
- C.The Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy
- D.None of the above
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. The Preamble and the Directive Principles of State Policy
The Preamble to the Constitution explicitly mentions 'Justice social, economic and political' as an objective. Furthermore, the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), particularly Articles 39 and 39A, aim to secure a social order for the promotion and protection of economic justice. Fundamental Rights, while ensuring certain freedoms and equalities, do not directly enshrine economic justice as a primary objective in the same way as the Preamble and DPSPs.
