Directions: Each of the next nine questions consists of two statements - one labeled as 'Assertion' (A) and other as 'Reason' (R). You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the correct answers. Assertion (A): The state shall not make any law - which takes away or abridges the rights conferred by Part III (Fundamental Rights) and any law made in contravention of this clause shall - to the extent of the contravention - be void. Reason (R): The fundamental rights are the rights reserved by the people and for this reason they are eternal and sacrosanct.
