Q8. Which one of the following statements is correct?
a) Rights are claims of the State against the citizens
b) Rights are privileges which are incorporated in the Constitution of a State.
c) Rights are claims of the citizens against the State
d) Rights are privileges of a few citizens against the many
The correct answer is Option 3.
- Citizens’ rights are asserted against the state, and the state is obligated to defend citizens against societal oppression. Hence option 3 is correct.
- The state cannot claim or demand anything from citizens since it takes away and restrains their rights. Hence option 1 is not correct.
- The concept of special privileges, which would lead to social inequity, is not present in the constitution. Hence option 2 is not correct.
- According to article 18, other than military and academic distinctions, no other citizens have titular privileges, except for military and academic distinctions. Hence option 4 is not correct.
