Explanation:

The phenomenon of DPSP is not an indigenous one. Our Constitution makers borrowed this idea from the Irish Constitution (Article 45); it has its genesis in the Spanish Constitution. Part IV of the Constitution of India deals with the Directive Principles of the State Policies. To better understand the meaning of the directive principle of state policy, we need to first understand the meaning of each word i.e. Directive + principle + state + policy , which indicates that these are the principles that direct the state when it makes policies for its own people. These DPSPs also acts as a guideline for the state and are required to be taken into consideration when coming up with any new law, but a citizen can't compel the state to follow the DPSPs.
