Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Abolition of untouchability
Explanation: Direct answer: Option C is correct. The Right to Freedom includes peaceful assembly, the freedom to choose a lawful profession or occupation, and protections connected with personal liberty. Abolition of untouchability is instead part of the Right to Equality because it removes a practice that denies equal social status and dignity. Build the answer by matching each item: peaceful gathering is freedom of assembly; choosing work is freedom of profession; personal liberty protects the individual from arbitrary deprivation; ending untouchability enforces equality. Option A is wrong because peaceful assembly is a recognised freedom, although it may be regulated reasonably for public order. Option B is wrong because choosing a profession is included, subject to lawful qualifications and regulation. Option C is correct because untouchability belongs to equality, not freedom. Option D is wrong because personal liberty is an important protection of the Right to Freedom. Memory cue: if an option concerns equal treatment and social dignity, check Equality; if it concerns action, movement, speech or personal liberty, check Freedom.

18 Which statement gives a balanced understanding of the Right to Freedom?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It gives citizens liberty but with reasonable limits and responsibility
Explanation: The direct answer is A. A balanced understanding of freedom has two parts: citizens receive liberty to make lawful choices, and that liberty operates within reasonable constitutional limits and with responsibility toward others. The reasoning is: rights protect individual dignity; unlimited conduct could harm other people and public order; therefore democracy protects freedom while permitting lawful, reasonable restrictions. Option A is correct because it includes both liberty and limits. Option B is wrong because no Fundamental Right releases citizens from every law; laws protect others and maintain order. Option C is wrong because freedom of expression belongs to citizens as well as government, and government cannot claim a monopoly over speech. Option D is wrong because violence harms rights and public order; it is not itself a constitutional right. Reasonable limits must be lawful, relevant and not a license for arbitrary suppression, but the question asks for the balanced school-level principle. Memory cue: rights are protected freedom, not lawless freedom.

25 Why is it necessary for democracy that the Right to Freedom is not absolute?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. So freedom and safety of others remain balanced
Explanation: The Right to Freedom is essential, but democratic freedom is exercised within a constitutional and lawful framework. If one person’s speech or action directly threatens another person’s safety, dignity, public order, or rights, limited and reasonable restrictions may be necessary. The governing principle is a balance between individual liberty and the equal liberty and security of others. Therefore option B is correct. It does not mean that the government can silence citizens without justification; restrictions must have a legal basis and cannot be arbitrary. Option A destroys freedom, option C supports authoritarian rule, and option D wrongly removes the role of courts. The correct idea is responsible freedom protected by law, with judicial review available when restrictions are challenged.
