What does "Reasonable restrictions" mean?

Answer View answer ▾

Answer: Option B — Controlled liberty

Detailed Solution

Article 19 freedoms are not absolute; clauses 19(2) to 19(6) allow the State to impose reasonable restrictions on grounds such as public order, decency and the sovereignty of India.

So the freedom exists but within lawful limits, that is, controlled liberty.

'Absolute freedom' and 'No limits' are the opposite of a restriction; 'Administrative power' describes who acts, not what the phrase means.
