Correct Answer:
C. 8
Fundamental Rights are a cornerstone of constitutional law, safeguarding individual liberties against state encroachment. In many constitutional frameworks, these rights are enumerated starting from a specific article.
- Option C: 8 is the correct answer because Article 8 typically marks the commencement of the chapter on Fundamental Rights, establishing their scope and enforceability.
- Options A, B, D: 6, 7, 9 are incorrect. Articles 6 and 7 usually precede the Fundamental Rights chapter, dealing with foundational aspects like citizenship or definitions. Article 9, while a Fundamental Right, follows Article 8, which sets the stage for the entire chapter.
