Under the Indian Constitution, concentration of wealth violates

  1. A.the Right to Equality
  2. B.the Directive Principles of State Policy
  3. C.the Right to Freedom
  4. D.the Concept of Welfare
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. the Directive Principles of State Policy

The Directive Principles of State Policy, particularly Article 39, explicitly state that the state shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good, and that the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment. This directly addresses the issue of wealth concentration.
