Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Article 19(1) guarantees six freedoms: speech and expression, assembly, association, movement, residence, and any profession or trade.
There were seven until 1978, when the 44th Amendment deleted the freedom to acquire and hold property.
Worth noting
Six is also the number of Fundamental Rights, for the same reason: property was taken out of Part III in 1978.
