Which of the following statements is/are true of the Fundamental Dutie...
Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen:
- The Fundamental Duties were added to the Constitution of India by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976.
- They are a set of moral and civic responsibilities that every citizen of India is expected to follow.
- There are eleven Fundamental Duties listed in Article 51A of the Constitution.
- They include respecting the Constitution, national symbols and institutions, promoting harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood, safeguarding public property, protecting the natural environment, and striving towards excellence in all spheres of life.
- However, the Fundamental Duties are not legally enforceable. There is no legislative process to enforce them, and a citizen cannot be punished for failing to fulfill them.
- They are also not correlative to legal duties, as they do not correspond to specific legal obligations that a citizen must fulfill. Legal duties are defined by laws and regulations, while Fundamental Duties are more general principles of behavior.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D - neither 1 nor 2.
