Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : C and D
The Correct answer is C and D. - Panchayati Raj is the foundation of India's political system, as a decentralized form of government in which each village would be responsible for its own affairs.
- This vision was incorporated in the constitution through Article 40 (DPSP) which read 'the State shall take steps to organize village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government'. This provision of the Directive Principles was finally given constitutional sanctity by enacting 73rd Amendment 1992.
- Thus, the 73rd Amendment Act did not bring any amendments to the Directive Principles of State Policy.
- The provisions of the 73rd Amendment 1992 added a new Part IX to the constitution titled - The Panchayats covering provisions from Article 243 to 243(O). It also added a new Eleventh Schedule covering 29 subjects within the functions of the Panchayats. However, no changes were made in the Part-III(Fundamental Rights) or Part-IVA(Fundamental Duties) of the constitution. Hence, only options C and D are correct
- Part XIII deals with trade and commerce within India. No amendments were brought in it through the 73rd Amendment Act.
