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”?

[A] Article 14

[B] Article 21

[C] Article 24

[D] Article 32

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.
