Explanation:
The 1st Amendment to the Constitution of India was enacted in 1951. It was introduced to address certain legal issues and challenges that arose after the implementation of the Constitution. One of the main objectives of the 1st Amendment was to nullify or modify certain judicial interpretations of the Fundamental Rights by the Supreme Court. This amendment aimed to place certain restrictions on the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 19 and 31 of the Constitution, particularly in relation to freedom of speech, expression, and property rights.
