UGC NET Polity Q55

Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Once Rule of Law is acknowledged as a constitutional law superior to the express provision in Article 21, it is only one step further to assert that Rule of Law is a 'basic feature' of Indian Constitution, which is beyond the pale of the express provision in Article 368, which was provided for by the initial constituent body.
Reason R: It is not unimaginable to conceive that the enacted provisions of a written Constitution would be nullified by invoking some unwritten principle of law of higher ethical value as evident under the West German Constitution of 1949.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Accepted Answer

A is correct but R is not correct
