By which one of the following amendments, the primacy of Directive Principles of State Policy over Fundamental Rights established?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The Twenty-fifth Amendment inserted Article 31C. Its protection concerns laws implementing Article 39(b) and (c) against specified Fundamental Rights; it did not make every Directive Principle superior to every Fundamental Right. The later attempt to extend the protection to all of Part IV was invalidated in Minerva Mills.
