    Select the correct statement about the Fundamental Rights as outlined in the Indian Constitution:

    A Originally, the Constitution provided for eight Fundamental Rights. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initially, the Indian Constitution enumerated seven Fundamental Rights, including the Right to Property. However, the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978 removed the Right to Property from the list of Fundamental Rights, relegating it to a legal right under Article 300-A. This amendment was aimed at facilitating land reforms and reducing litigation associated with property disputes.
