    Question

    The Directive Principles of State Policy in India's Constitution are borrowed from the constitution of ________.

    A.

    Britain

    B.

    Ireland

    C.

    Canada

    D.

    Germany

    Correct option is B


    The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in Part IV (Articles 36–51) of the Indian Constitution were borrowed from the Irish Constitution (1937).
    Ireland itself adopted these principles from the Spanish Constitution.
    The DPSPs are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced in a court of law but serve as guidelines for the government to establish social and economic justice in the country.
    Britain – India adopted the Parliamentary system of government from the British Constitution, but not the DPSPs.
    Canada – India adopted the federal structure with a strong central government from Canada, not the DPSPs.
    Germany – The concept of Fundamental Duties in the Indian Constitution was inspired by the Weimar Constitution of Germany, but not the DPSPs.
