Option 2 : 1, 2 and 3 only
The correct answer is 1, 2 and 3 only.
- Fundamental rights are embedded in Part III (Articles 12-35).
- Besides the Fundamental Rights included in Part III, there are certain other rights contained in other parts of the Constitution.
- These rights are known as constitutional rights or legal rights or non-fundamental rights.
- The right to vote is a legal right and not a fundamental right. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- Originally, the Constitution provided for seven Fundamental Rights.
- However, the Right to Property (Article 31) was deleted from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978.
- It is made a legal right under Article 300-A in Part XII of the constitution.
- Hence statements 2 and 3 are correct.
- Article 301 in Part XIII- deals with freedom of trade, commerce and intercourse. Subject to the other provisions of this Part, trade, commerce and intercourse throughout the territory of India shall be free.
- Therefore statement 4 is incorrect.
