Fundamental Rights are characterized by their enforceability, universality, and dynamic nature. They are directly enforceable in a court of law, providing citizens with a powerful tool to challenge governmental excesses. Although these rights guarantee essential freedoms, they are not absolute – reasonable restrictions may be imposed in the interests of public order, morality, and national security.
Other key features include their broad applicability to all citizens irrespective of social, economic, or cultural differences, and the capacity for judicial interpretation to extend or refine their scope. Their evolution over time has ensured that they remain relevant in addressing contemporary social challenges.
Together, these features not only secure individual freedom but also help maintain the balance between personal rights and the collective interest of society.
