Which amendment act has been added to the original duties in the constitution?
42nd Constitutional Amendment Act
The 'original duties' in the stem refers to the Fundamental Duties of citizens. These were not part of the Constitution as originally adopted in 1950.
The Fundamental Duties were added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee. It inserted Part IV-A with Article 51A, which originally listed ten duties.
An eleventh duty (to provide opportunities for education to children aged 6 to 14) was added later by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002.
The 44th Amendment (1978) mainly removed the Right to Property from Fundamental Rights, the 38th Amendment (1975) dealt with emergency and ordinance matters, and the 51st Amendment (1984) concerned seat reservation for Scheduled Tribes in north-eastern states.
Hence, the answer is the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act.
