Question

Consider the following statements:
1. The Constitution as originally adopted had 22 Parts, 395 Articles and 12 Schedules.
2. A chapter on Fundamental Duties did not find a place in the original Constitution.

Which is the correct statement?

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only 2

Originally (1949), the Constitution contained a Preamble, 395 Articles (divided into 22 Parts) and 8 Schedules. Though the rights and duties of the citizens are correlative and inseparable, the original constitution contained only the fundamental rights and not the fundamental duties. Later in 1976, the fundamental duties of citizens were added in the Constitution. In 2002, one more Fundamental Duty was added.
