The correct answer is option 3, the 44th Amendment. This amendment, which was passed in 1978, deleted the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution. The Right to Property was originally included as a Fundamental Right under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31 of the Constitution. However, the 44th Amendment was made to address the issue of land reforms and social justice. It repealed Article 19(1)(f) and substituted a new provision, Article 300A, which stated that no person shall be deprived of his property except by authority of law. This essentially removed the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right, making it a constitutional right instead. It is important to note that this amendment did not completely eliminate property rights, but rather redefined and limited them.
