What to Focus On

  • A welfare state protects and promotes social and economic well-being.
  • Equality of opportunity is a basic principle of a welfare state.
  • The state is responsible for helping those who cannot meet basic needs.

  • Directive Principles are guidelines for the central and state governments.
  • They are in Part IV of the Constitution.
  • Their aim is social and economic democracy.

  • The Constitution does not officially divide Directive Principles into categories.
  • The four categories are used only for understanding.
  • Social and economic equality principles support a fair life for all.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Directive Principles are enforceable by courts just like Fundamental Rights.

Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles are contradictory and cannot work together.

Directive Principles are the same as Fundamental Rights because both are in the Constitution.
