DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY are those guidelines that a state should keep in mind while formulating laws and policies for a country. Article 36- Article 51 contains DPSP. It is non justiciable in nature., meaning a person cannot go to court and demand for that particular right to be established. In fact, DPSPs are moral guidelines. Basically, it contains three principles. These principles are as follows:- 1.) Liberal principal, 2.) Socio- economic principles and 3.) Universal principles. 1.) Liberal principles:- lt mainly consists of the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi Ji. Example:- article 40 gives power to federalism as it gives power to decentralisation. 2.) Socio-economic principles:- It mainly consists of the principles for the development of society. For example:- mid day meal scheme can be considered as a good example. 3.) Universal principles:- These principles are very free in nature and hence cannot be applicable to the present society. However, in future it can be applicable as our society becomes literate and liberal. For example:- universal civil code. That's a brief explanation of DPSP. Hope it helps!

1. First Past the Post (FPTP) system, can be understood as the voting method in which the citizens of a constituency cast their votes for a candidate and the one getting majority votes win the elections. As against, Proportional Representation (PR) is an electoral system wherein citizens cast their votes to the political parties and seats are allocated to the parties according to the voting strength they possess.

2. In first past the post system, the whole country is divided into different small geographical areas, i.e. constituencies. In contrast, proportional representation, large geographical units are considered as a constituency.

3. In first past the post system, from each constituency one candidates get elected. Unlike, proportional representation, where more than one candidate can be selected from a constituency.

4. In first past the post system, the citizens cast their votes for the candidate of their choice. In contrast, votes are cast for political party by the citizens of the constituency.

5. In FPTP system, the total seats allotted to a political party may or may not be equal to the votes. As opposed, in PR system, the party gets seats in proportion to the votes polled for them.

6. In first past the post system, accountability exist, as people know the candidate whom they voted and if he/she does not serve them or work for their betterment, they can ask questions. On the contrary, accountability is absent, in the sense that people cast their vote for a party and not to a candidate.

Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.

Freedom of speech[2] is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. The term "freedom of expression" is sometimes used synonymously but includes any act of seeking, receiving, and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.

Freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the UDHR states that "everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". The version of Article 19 in the ICCPR later amends this by stating that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".
