Discussion
By which Amendment Act of the Constitution of India were the Directive Principles of State Policy given precedence over the Fundamental Rights wherever they come into conflict?
Answer: B
The 42nd Amendment of 1976 gave the directive principles precedence over the fundamental rights where they conflict.
It provided that no law giving effect to a directive principle could be struck down for violating Articles 14, 19 or 31. The Supreme Court struck that provision down in Minerva Mills in 1980, holding the balance between the two to be part of the basic structure.
