4. Differences between Fundamental Rights and
Directive Principles

5. Fundamental rights are related
to justice, that is, one can
appeal to the supreme Court of
India in case on feels that ones
F.R. are being violated by state.
D.P., though not justiciable, are
no less important for the
reason.

6. F.R. have negative aspects –
injunctions addressed to the
state to refrain from doing
certain acts beyond
constitutional limits fixed by
law. D.P. involves a positive
aspect-instructions

enforcement of fundamental
right; D.P. can be
implemented only after
legislation

D.P., the F.R. will prevail.
