Solution
Right to Constitutional Remedies
Explanation:
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar called Article 32 of the Indian Constitution i.e. Right to Constitutional remedies as 'the heart and soul of the Constitution'.
It was made so because the mere declaration of the fundamental right without effective machinery for enforcement of the fundamental rights would have been meaningless.
