Phase IFoundation
Background
Overview
Tests understanding of fundamental rights (right to life, dignity, food), Directive Principles of State Policy (welfare state), the role of the judiciary in protecting citizens from administrative overreach, the integrity of electoral processes, and the distinction between voter status and citizenship.
The practice of linking a person's inclusion or exclusion from electoral rolls to their eligibility for welfare benefits or determination of citizenship status represents a significant overreach by the state, challenging fundamental rights and the distinct purposes of electoral processes.
