What is the principle policy of the state taken from the Constitution?
Irish Constitution
The stem asks from which constitution the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV, Articles 36-51) of the Indian Constitution were taken.
The Directive Principles were borrowed from the Irish Constitution (1937), which itself drew them from the Spanish Constitution. The Irish Constitution also gave India the method of electing the President and nominating members to the Rajya Sabha.
From the Canadian Constitution India took the federation with a strong centre and residuary powers with the Centre; from the Australian Constitution the Concurrent List and joint sitting; from the erstwhile USSR (Russian) Constitution the Fundamental Duties and the ideals of justice in the Preamble.
Hence, the Directive Principles of State Policy come from the Irish Constitution.
