Explanation

The 42nd Amendment (1976) during Emergency gave DPSPs primacy over Fundamental Rights, aiming to realize social justice goals. This controversial change was later modified. The 44th Amendment partially reversed this, restoring some Fundamental Rights supremacy. The amendment remains a landmark in constitutional debates.
