Answer 1

The correct answer is 1951.

Key Points

The 1951 Constitution (First Amendment) Act amended the Fundamental Rights clauses of the Indian Constitution in a number of ways.
It offered ways to impose restrictions on the right to free speech and expression and supported laws that outlawed zamindari.
It was made clear that the right to equality does not exclude the passing of laws that give "particular regard" to society's most vulnerable groups.
This Amendment established a precedent for rewriting the Constitution to override judicial decisions that prevented the government from
carrying out its alleged obligations to specific policies and programs.
