Answer
Following are the three important differences between the Directive Principles of State policy and Fundamental Rights:
| Directive Principles | Fundamental Rights |
|---|---|
| The Directive Principles of State policy are not justiciable or enforceable by any court of law. This means that one cannot go to court against the government regarding the implementation of the Directive Principles. | Fundamental rights are justiciable which means that citizens can seek protection from court if their Fundamental Rights are violated. |
| Directive Principles are mere directions to the State to attain certain set objectives. | Fundamental Rights are a certain kind of restriction on the State. |
| The scope of Directive Principles is wider as they deal with wide range of subjects including international peace and security. | Fundamental Rights have limited scope as they are concerned with individual's rights. |
