Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Procedure for the election of the members of Rajya Sabha is adopted from the South African Constitution.
2. The ideal of justice (social, economic and political) in the preamble is adopted from Japanese Constitution.
Choose the right answer from the following codes.

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Only 1

The term ‘justice’ in the Preamble embraces three distinct forms—social, economic and political, secured through various provisions of Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles. The ideal of justice—social, economic and political—has been taken from the Russian Revolution (1917). So statement 2 is wrong.
