Why did Dr Ambedkar call constitutional remedies the soul of the Constitution?

Correct answer: Because it gives people the power to approach a court when Fundamental Rights are violated

Correct answer: A. Dr B. R. Ambedkar used this description because constitutional remedies give life and practical force to Fundamental Rights. If a right is violated but no legal institution can hear the complaint or order protection, the right may remain only a statement on paper. The remedy allows an affected person to approach the Supreme Court for enforcement of Fundamental Rights, especially under Article 32; High Courts also provide constitutional relief under Article 226. Courts can issue writs and directions when the legal conditions are satisfied. Option B is wrong because election symbols are an electoral matter, not the purpose of constitutional remedies. C is wrong because tax rates are not what makes rights enforceable. D is wrong because remedies do not abolish Parliament; they ensure that public power remains within constitutional limits. Memory cue: “soul” means the mechanism that makes rights live and enforceable, not an administrative function.
