| Abstract The Constitution of India grants citizens of our country some fundamental rights, which are described in this research article. The most fundamental rights are those that are required to uphold human dignity. By giving individuals a set of rights that the government cannot restrict, this legal principle preserves the natural law principle that no individual is superior or greater than the law. The rights covered by Chapter III of the constitution include the rights to equality (Articles 14–18), to liberty (Articles 19–22), to protection from exploitation (Articles 23–24), to freedom of religion (Articles 25–28), to culture and education (Articles 29–30), and constitutional remedies (Articles 32–35). Fundamental rights are those that are necessary for every human being’s growth. Without them, no one can achieve human perfection in their lives. Because of this, these rights have a complicated and drawn-out history, and India is no different. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the significance, make sense of, kinds, range, and consequences of the fundamental rights under Indian democracy. Numerous rights have been granted to the populace by the Indian Constitution as “Fundamental Rights.” The courts have the authority to enforce these rights. However, the government has deemed these rights to be “obstacles” on several occasions, notably regarding measures pertaining to state security and social welfare laws. As a result, the Parliament has occasionally altered these rights. |
