Q. which of the following article called by Dr. Ambedkar, “an article without which this constitution would be a nullity, it is the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it”?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation: A mere declaration of fundamental rights in the Constitution is meaningless, useless and worthless without providing effective machinery for their enforcement, if and when they are violated.
- Hence, Article 32 confers the right to remedies for the enforcement of the fundamental rights of an aggrieved citizen.
- In other words, the right to get the Fundamental Rights protected is in itself a fundamental right. This makes the fundamental rights real.
- That is why Dr. Ambedkar called Article 32 as the most important article of the Constitution–‘an Article without which this constitution would be a nullity. It is the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it’.
- The Supreme Court has ruled that Article 32 is a basic feature of the Constitution.
