Consider the following statements regarding the DPSP/Directive Principles of State Policy:
1. The principles spell out the socio-economic democracy in the country.
2. The provisions contained in these principles are not enforceable by any court.
Which of the statements given below are correct?

The correct option is Both 1 and 2.

Let us analyze each statement to understand why they are both correct:

1. Statement 1: "The principles spell out the socio-economic democracy in the country."
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), contained in Part IV of the Constitution of India, aim at establishing a welfare state. While Fundamental Rights (Part III) guarantee political democracy by protecting individual liberties, the DPSPs are designed to ensure social and economic justice. They serve as guidelines for the state to formulate policies that minimize inequalities in income, status, and opportunities, and to promote the welfare of the people. Hence, they spell out the foundation of socio-economic democracy in the country, making Statement 1 correct.

2. Statement 2: "The provisions contained in these principles are not enforceable by any court."
According to Article 37 of the Constitution, the directive principles are non-justiciable. This means that they are not enforceable by any court of law. If the government fails to implement these principles, citizens cannot file a lawsuit or approach the judiciary to force the state to enforce them. However, Article 37 also clarifies that these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country, and it is the duty of the state to apply them in making laws. Thus, Statement 2 is correct.

Since both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct, the correct choice is Both 1 and 2.
