Q: 36 (IAS/2017)

Which of the following statements is/are true of the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen?
1. A legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties.
2. They are correlative to legal duties.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

question_subject:

question_exam: 

IAS

stats: 

0,64,133,22,58,35,82

keywords: 

{'fundamental duties': [4, 0, 3, 4], 'legal duties': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'duties': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'indian citizen': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'legislative process': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4 i.e., Neither 1 nor 2. Here is the explanation of each option:

Option 1 states that a legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties. This is untrue because the Constitution of India does not provide any mechanism or procedure for the enforcement of Fundamental Duties. These duties are essentially moral and civic duties which every citizen is expected to follow of their own volition.

Option 2 suggests that Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen are correlative to legal duties. This is also not correct. The Fundamental Duties do not come with a legal obligation. Failure to fulfil these duties does not result in legal consequences.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are false, making option 4 the correct choice as it asserts that neither 1 nor 2 are true.
