Understanding the Assertion and Reason
The question revolves around the 42nd Amendment of the Indian Constitution, which indeed introduced Fundamental Duties for citizens. This amendment was enacted in 1976 and marked a significant shift in the constitutional framework.
Assertion (A): True
- The 42nd Amendment added Article 51A to the Constitution, outlining the Fundamental Duties of citizens.
- These duties encompass responsibilities like promoting harmony, striving for excellence, and protecting the environment, among others.
Reason (R): False
- While the Constitution emphasizes the importance of Fundamental Duties, it does not enforce them as prerequisites for enjoying Fundamental Rights.
- Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties are distinct in that the former can be legally enforced, while the latter serve more as moral obligations.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- The Assertion is correct: The 42nd Amendment indeed introduced Fundamental Duties.
- The Reason is incorrect: Fundamental Duties do not act as prerequisites for Fundamental Rights.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: "If Assertion is true but Reason is false." This distinction clarifies the role and nature of Fundamental Duties in relation to Fundamental Rights within the framework of the Constitution.
