The fundamental rights in the Indian Constitution are borrowed from which country?

The correct answer is (B) USA.

• The Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution are largely inspired by the Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution.

• These rights guarantee basic civil liberties, such as the right to equality, freedom of speech, protection from discrimination, and freedom of religion, which are similar to the rights granted under the U.S. Constitution.

• The Fundamental Rights are enshrined in Part III of the Indian Constitution (Articles 12-35).

• Other influences come from the British legal system, such as the right to constitutional remedies.
• The concept of judicial review, which allows courts to examine the constitutionality of laws, was also influenced by the U.S. system.
• The Indian Constitution aims to ensure justice, liberty, and equality for all citizens, drawing from multiple global sources.
