Which of the following statements is/are true of theFundamental Duties...
A legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties.
- This statement is incorrect. As of my last update, there is no specific legislative process provided to enforce Fundamental Duties. While the Constitution mentions these duties, there are no specific laws or penalties attached to their violation.
They are correlative to legal duties.
- This statement is also incorrect. Fundamental Duties are not directly correlated to legal duties. Legal duties are those prescribed by law and are enforceable by legal means, while Fundamental Duties are moral obligations outlined in the Constitution.
So, the correct answer is: Neither 1 nor 2

Which of the following statements is/are true of theFundamental Duties...
The Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen
The Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen are a set of moral obligations that every citizen of India is expected to follow. These duties were added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976. They are not enforceable by law, meaning that there are no legal consequences for failing to fulfill them. However, they serve as a moral and ethical guideline for citizens to contribute towards the well-being of society and the nation.
Statement 1: A legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties.
This statement is incorrect. The Fundamental Duties are not enforceable by law. Unlike the Fundamental Rights, which can be enforced through the courts, the Fundamental Duties do not have any specific provisions for their enforcement. They are more of a moral and ethical obligation rather than a legal obligation. The absence of a legislative process to enforce these duties highlights their non-justiciable nature.
Statement 2: They are correlative to legal duties.
This statement is also incorrect. The Fundamental Duties are not correlative to legal duties. Legal duties are obligations imposed by law, and their violation can lead to legal consequences. On the other hand, the Fundamental Duties are moral obligations that citizens are expected to voluntarily adhere to. They are not legally enforceable, and there are no legal consequences for failing to fulfill them. The correlative nature of legal duties does not apply to the Fundamental Duties.
Conclusion:
Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen are non-justiciable and do not have a legislative process for enforcement. They are moral obligations rather than legal obligations, and they are not correlative to legal duties. The correct answer to the question is option 'D', neither 1 nor 2.
