Economic Justice in Constitution

Economic Justice is enshrined as an objective in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, which refers to 'economic and social justice,' and is extensively detailed in the Directive Principles of State Policy (Articles 36-51). The Directive Principles provide for economic and social rights including the right to adequate means of livelihood, just and humane working conditions, living wages, and equitable distribution of material resources. While the Fundamental Rights (Part III) protect certain civil and political rights and some aspects of socio-economic rights, they do not comprehensively address economic justice. The Preamble sets out the aspirational goals, while the Directive Principles provide the framework for achieving economic justice through state action. Option (c) is incorrect because economic justice is not primarily established in Fundamental Rights alone. > Economic Justice in Constitution: Preamble (aspiration) + Directive Principles (implementation framework) — dual approach. Answer: (b).
