Fundamental Rights
The Constitution safeguards individuals’ rights against both the State and other individuals. It also protects the rights of minorities against the majority.
Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution include:
- Right to Equality
- Right to Freedom
- Right against Exploitation
- Right to Freedom of Religion
- Cultural and Educational Rights
- Right to Constitutional Remedies
Fundamental Rights serve two main purposes:
- All citizens should have the ability to assert their fundamental rights.
- Fundamental rights must be obligatory for all authorities empowered to enact laws.
Additionally, the Constitution incorporates the Directive Principles of State Policy, which aim to foster social and economic reforms and provide guidance to the independent Indian State in formulating laws and policies.
