Which Article of the Indian Constitution defines the 'Basic Structure' doctrine directly within its text?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The basic structure doctrine is not explicitly written in any article of the Indian Constitution, but was instead formulated by the Supreme Court in the landmark Kesavananda Bharati case of 1973 to limit Parliament's amending power under Article 368. Alternative choices suggesting Article 368, Article 13, or Article 32 are incorrect because none of them mention the doctrine directly within their text. The doctrine protects the fundamental democratic framework from arbitrary constitutional amendments.
