Analyze the structural nuances of the Directive Principles of State Provisions under Part IV of the Constitution: 1. Article 45 directs the State to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years. 2. Article 51 enshrines the promotion of international peace and security. 3. Part IV contains provisions explicitly borrowed from the Constitution of the United States of America. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct as Article 45 was amended by the 86th Amendment Act to cover early childhood care, and Article 51 outlines international peace goals. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Directive Principles were borrowed from the Irish Constitution, which had itself borrowed them from the Spanish Constitution. The Irish Constitution is renowned for introducing non-justiciable socio-economic policy guidelines into constitutional design.
