A. It provides the procedure for electing the President of India
B. It grants citizens the right to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of fundamental rights✓ Correct Answer
C. It outlines the distribution of legislative powers between the Centre and States
D. It establishes the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 32 guarantees the right to move the Supreme Court by appropriate proceedings for the enforcement of fundamental rights and empowers the court to issue writs, making the rights meaningful rather than mere declarations. The distribution of legislative powers is handled under Part XI, and the Comptroller and Auditor General is established under Article 148. Without constitutional remedies, fundamental rights would lack an effective mechanism for grievance redressal.
