Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1, 2 and 3 only

The correct answer is 1, 2 and 3 only.

  • Fundamental rights are embedded in Part III (Articles 12-35).
  • Besides the Fundamental Rights included in Part III, there are certain other rights contained in other parts of the Constitution.
  • These rights are known as constitutional rights or legal rights or non-fundamental rights.
  • The right to vote is a legal right and not a fundamental right. Hence statement 1 is correct.
  • Originally, the Constitution provided for seven Fundamental Rights.
    • However, the Right to Property (Article 31) was deleted from the list of Fundamental Rights by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978.
    • It is made a legal right under Article 300-A in Part XII of the constitution. 
    • Hence statements 2 and 3 are correct.
  • Article 301 in Part XIII- deals with freedom of trade, commerce and intercourse. Subject to the other provisions of this Part, trade, commerce and intercourse throughout the territory of India shall be free.
    • Therefore statement 4 is incorrect.
