Origin of Directive Principles of State Policy
The concept of "Directive Principles of State Policy" (DPSPs) in the Indian Constitution was adopted from the Irish Constitution.
Borrowing from Irish Constitution
India's Constitution makers were inspired by the salient features of various constitutions across the world. The specific provisions related to DPSPs were drawn from the Irish Constitution, which itself had influenced the Spanish Constitution.
Key Aspects of DPSPs
- These principles guide the State in formulating laws and policies for establishing a welfare state.
- They are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by any court.
- DPSPs represent the aspirations and goals that the State should strive to achieve.
Therefore, the Irish Constitution is the direct source from which the concept of Directive Principles of State Policy was borrowed into the Indian Constitution.
