▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: C. Both 1 and 2

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs), as enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution, aim to establish socio-economic democracy by guiding the State in formulating policies and enacting laws. They embody the ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. Critically, these principles are non-justiciable, meaning they are not enforceable by any court of law, although they are fundamental in the governance of the country.
