Answer
| Fundamental Rights | Directive Principles of State Policy |

| Fundamental Rights are justiciable. | Directive Principles are non-justiciable. |
| These rights protect the civil liberties of the people. | Directive Principles lay down our economic ideals and social order in order to create a welfare state. |
