Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Right to Constitutional Remedies

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (C) Right to Constitutional Remedies šŸ“š Explanation: Article 32, which provides the Right to Constitutional Remedies, was called the 'Heart and Soul' of the Constitution by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. This article allows citizens to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights. Without this right, all other fundamental rights would be mere words on paper, as there would be no mechanism to protect them if they were violated by the state. The Court can issue writs like Habeas Corpus and Mandamus under this article.
