    A Right to life and personal liberty Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Right to equality Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Right to freedom of religion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Right to constitutional remedies Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Dr. Ambedkar considered the right to constitutional remedies (Article 32) as ‘heart and soul of the constitution’. It is so because this right gives a citizen the right to approach a High Court or the Supreme Court to get any of the fundamental rights restored in case of their violation. The Supreme Court (under Article 32) and the High Courts (under Article 226) can issue orders and give directives to the government for the enforcement of rights.
