SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Irish Constitution

The Directive Principles of State Policy, enshrined in Part IV of the Indian Constitution, were primarily inspired by the Irish Constitution. These principles aim to establish social and economic democracy, ensuring a just and equitable society. While other constitutions may have influenced certain aspects, the Irish model significantly shaped India's approach to incorporating socio-economic goals within its constitutional framework. The emphasis on social justice and welfare programs found in the Irish Constitution strongly resonated with the framers of the Indian Constitution. This influence is reflected in several key directives within Part IV.
