Question

Part-II of the Constitution of India deals with

• A. the Fundamental Rights
• B. Citizenship
• C. foreign policy
• D. internal security

Hint:

Remember the order: First you define the land (Part I: Territory), then you define the people on it (Part II: Citizenship), and then you give them rights (Part III: Fundamental Rights).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The Constitution of India is the longest written constitution in the world and is divided into several "Parts," each dealing with specific governance and rights frameworks. Understanding the sequence of the first few parts is fundamental for legal and civic studies.

Step 1: Mapping the initial Parts of the Constitution.
To identify Part-II, we can review the opening structure of the Constitution:
• Part I (Articles 1-4): The Union and its Territory.
• Part II (Articles 5-11): Citizenship.
• Part III (Articles 12-35): Fundamental Rights.
• Part IV (Articles 36-51): Directive Principles of State Policy.

Step 2: Details of Part II.
Part II contains Articles 5 through 11. These articles describe who became a citizen of India at the commencement of the Constitution and empower the Parliament to regulate the right of citizenship by law (which led to the Citizenship Act of 1955). $\text{Articles 5 to 11} \rightarrow \text{Citizenship}$

Step 3: Evaluating the options.

• Fundamental Rights are in Part III.
• Foreign policy is generally guided by Directive Principles (Art. 51).
• Internal security is a function of the state, not a specific "Part" designation. Final Answer: Option B
