Which of the following freedoms is not guaranteed by the Indian Constitution under Article 19?Select the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   Freedom to assemble peacefully and without arms

   This option claims that the freedom to assemble peacefully and without arms is guaranteed under Article 19. It is incorrect as the key because this freedom is indeed explicitly guaranteed by Article 19(1)(b) of the Constitution.

2. B

   Freedom to own, acquire and dispose of property

   This option claims that the freedom to own, acquire and dispose of property is guaranteed under Article 19. It is the correct key because the right to property was deleted from the list of guaranteed freedoms by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978 and is no longer a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(f).

3. C

   Freedom to move freely throughout the country

   This option claims that the freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India is guaranteed under Article 19. It is incorrect as the key because this particular freedom is duly guaranteed under Article 19(1)(d).

4. D

   Freedom to practise any trade or profession

   This option claims that the freedom to practice any trade or profession is guaranteed under Article 19. It is incorrect as the key because this freedom is officially guaranteed by Article 19(1)(g) of the Indian Constitution.

Summary. Official key is (b) regarding the freedoms not guaranteed by the Indian Constitution under Article 19. Article 19 originally contained seven freedoms, but the right to property was removed by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act in 1978. Options (a), (c), and (d) correspond to active freedoms still explicitly protected under different clauses of Article 19. Aspirants often confuse statutory rights with fundamental freedoms, overlooking constitutional amendments. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer since property ownership is no longer a fundamental freedom.
