Show answer
Answer: D. The Preamble's ideals of justice, liberty, equality and dignity, the Directive Principles (for example the right to work, education, living wage), and Fundamental Duties (such as respect for women's dignity) all reflect ideas found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. So 1, 2 and 3.
Watch for: Students link the UDHR only to rights and forget that it also speaks of duties.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Fundamental Duties also reflect UDHR ideas; Article 29 of the UDHR speaks of duties to the community.
- B. Wrong because the Preamble and Fundamental Duties also reflect the UDHR.
- C. Wrong because the Directive Principles reflect many UDHR economic and social rights.
