What is one major reason for including Fundamental Rights in the Constitution?

Correct answer: To place constitutional limits on state power

Correct answer: C, to place constitutional limits on state power. Fundamental Rights protect the dignity, liberty and equality of citizens and prevent the state from using its authority in an arbitrary or oppressive way. Because these rights are written into the Constitution, ordinary governments must respect them; laws or official actions that violate them can be challenged in court. A is incorrect because Fundamental Rights restrict government arbitrariness rather than permit it. B is incorrect because Fundamental Rights do not generally exempt citizens from paying taxes; taxation is governed by law. D is incorrect because the Election Commission conducts and supervises elections and is not given general law-making power by Fundamental Rights. Memory cue: Fundamental Rights mean protected citizens and limited government.
