Prelims 2022 · CSAT / Reading Comprehension · Question 63
With reference to the above passage which of the following statements is/are correct?<br/>1. Conventions are the sources of rights of man.<br/>2. Rights of man can be exercised only when there is a social order.<br/><br/>Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Answer
Both 1 and 2
Re-examined in the context of the passage.
1. “Conventions are the sources of rights of man” — Correct in the passage-context. If the passage is drawing from political theory that rights arise from social recognition, customs, and accepted conventions rather than existing in isolation, then conventions can be treated as their practical source.
2. “Rights of man can be exercised only when there is a social order” — Correct. Rights are meaningful only within society, where an organized social order exists to recognize and enforce them.
Therefore, both statements are correct.
