0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It gives constitutional protection against discrimination, untouchability, and privilege
Explanation: The direct answer is A. The Right to Equality makes social dignity an enforceable constitutional protection, not merely a polite idea or personal feeling. The concept is simple: dignity means that every person deserves equal respect. Discrimination, untouchability and unjust privileges treat some people as less worthy, so constitutional equality opposes them. Step by step, the Constitution promises equality; it prohibits discrimination on improper grounds; it abolishes untouchability; and it limits special privileges that deny equal status. Option A is correct because it names these protections and shows how dignity becomes institutionalized through law and rights. Option B is wrong because binding people by caste destroys equal status and dignity. Option C is wrong because the Constitution does not legalize humiliation; it protects people from it. Option D is wrong because law is a binding public guarantee, not charity or personal kindness. Exam cue: when equality is linked with dignity, look for protection against discrimination and untouchability.
19 If a law supports a weaker group but its aim is political favoritism rather than real opportunity, what equality problem arises?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The problem of distinguishing valid special measure from arbitrary favoritism
Explanation: Direct answer: Option A is correct. Equality does not mean that every person must always receive exactly the same help. Sometimes a weaker or disadvantaged group needs a special measure so that its members can obtain a genuinely fair opportunity. Such a measure is valid when it has a just purpose, is connected with real disadvantage, and is applied through reasonable rules. The difficulty here is deciding whether the law is correcting inequality or merely rewarding supporters. Step by step: support for a weaker group may be legitimate; political favoritism may be arbitrary; therefore the equality question is how to distinguish a valid special measure from unfair favoritism. Option A states exactly this problem. Option B is wrong because the facts do not concern religious belief or worship. Option C is wrong because no ceremonial or social title is involved. Option D is wrong because trafficking means illegal trade or exploitation of persons, which is unrelated. Memory cue: for special measures, ask about purpose, evidence of disadvantage, and fairness—not merely the group named.
