Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Article 19(1) of the Indian Constitution guarantees six fundamental freedoms to citizens, including freedom of speech, assembly, and movement. However, these rights are not absolute, and the Constitution provides for a balance between individual liberty and social interest.

  • Statement 1 is correct: Unlike some other legal systems, fundamental rights in India, particularly those under Article 19, are qualified and not absolute.
  • Statement 2 is correct: The State is empowered to impose reasonable restrictions on these freedoms under Articles 19(2) to 19(6). These restrictions can be imposed on specific grounds such as the sovereignty and integrity of India, security of the State, public order, decency, morality, or in the interest of the general public.

The determination of whether a restriction is "reasonable" is a matter of judicial review. Since both statements are factually and legally accurate, Option C is the correct answer.
