Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), contained in Part IV of the Constitution, are fundamental in the governance of the country. While Fundamental Rights primarily ensure political democracy, the DPSPs are designed to establish social and economic democracy. As emphasized by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the DPSP aim to create a welfare state. Because their core objective is to build this framework of social and economic justice, they are essential for the economic, social, and political functions of a modern democratic state. Article 38 specifically mandates the state to secure a social order for the promotion of welfare, informing all institutions of national life with social, economic, and political justice.
