The Right to Freedom<\/strong> is one of the most fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. It is enshrined under Articles 19 to 22 of Part III of the constitution. It forms the foundation of India\u2019s democratic framework. This right ensures that citizens can express themselves, move freely and live without undue restrictions by the State. The framers of the Constitution incorporated these freedoms inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) to protect individual liberty while maintaining public order and national security.<\/span><\/p>\n
