By on 31 Jul 2022 Saranya Ravindran This piece is an analysis of the enforcement of fundamental duties, as enumerated under Article 51-A of the Constitution of India. To that effect, it analyses the current philosophical understanding of fundamental rights and whether duties can be enforced on similar grounds, and then evaluates the impact such enforcement would have on fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution. Introduction and Context In the run-up to celebrating 75 years of independence from colonial oppression, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a rather interesting critique of Indian Constitutionalism. He claimed that the primacy accorded to rights over the last 75 years while “forgetting one’s duty has played a huge role in Historical Background Fundamental duties such as upholding the “ The fundamental duties are This can be answered with a two-pronged analysis—first at a more principled understanding of why fundamental rights are enforced and whether this understanding can be extended to duties, and second on the consequences that such enforcement would have on rights and duties. The Moral Case for Enforcing Fundamental Duties Philosophers like Even conceding to the argument that rights inherently have duties attached, note that “duty” is not a positive responsibility. This means that there is no positive duty on individuals to “preserve the country’s composite culture” as There are some instances where a positive duty on individuals is invoked to safeguard fu...

An Individual plays a vital role in a State and its welfare and is entitled to exercise rights. India, the largest democracy in the world, whose Bible is the ‘Constitution’ enshrines in its Preamble for the “People of India”, the principles of Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Fundamental duties play an important role in India, seek to achieve set parameters of progress which cannot be achieved without citizens performing their duties. Fundamental duties were incorporated in Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendmen on the recommendations of Swaran Singh Committee and the eleventh duty was added to the ten fundamental duties by the 86th Amendment. The practice via which an individual has become a part of an institution like the State and the collective duty of the State towards a citizen, strengthens the notion of a responsible citizenry, ultimately to achieve progress and development of the society. The framers of the Constitution had not included ‘duties’ separately, perhaps in the belief that citizens would not only be well aware of them but would be conscious enough to follow them. That clearly did not happen, which is why the Constitution was amended in 1976, and Part IV (A) was inserted pursuant to the Constitution (42nd) Amendment Act, 1976. This Part came after the existing Part IV which deals with Directive Principles of State Policy. Article 51A, which too came in the wake of the constitutional amendment, set in clear terms the ‘duties’ o...

Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic, that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations. This idea brings with it a host of vexing questions of interest not only to legal scholars, but to anyone keen to explore the legal and philosophical foundations of the state. How can a government be legally limited if law is the creation of government? Does this mean that a government can be ‘self-limiting’? Is this even possible? If not, then is there some way of avoiding this implication? If meaningful limitation is indeed to be possible, perhaps constitutional constraints must somehow be ‘entrenched’, that is, resistant to change or removal by those whose powers are constrained? Perhaps they must not only be entrenched, but enshrined in written rules. If so, how are these rules to be interpreted? In terms of their original, public meaning or the intentions of their authors, or in terms of the, possibly ever-developing, values and principles they express? How, in the end, one answers these questions depends crucially on how one conceives the nature, identity and authority of constitutions. Must a constitution establish a stable framework for the exercise of public power which is in some way fixed by factors like original public meaning or authorial intentions? Or can it be a living entity which g...
