How do classical fundamental rights (klassieke grondrechten) differ fundamentally from social fundamental rights (sociale grondrechten) in the Dutch Constitution (Grondwet)?

Classical rights are binding only on local municipalities, whereas social rights bind the national Parliament. Classical rights require state non-interference to protect individual liberty, whereas social rights require active state provision. Classical rights can be suspended by judges at any time, whereas social rights are absolute and unalterable. Classical rights were added to the Constitution in 1983, whereas social rights originate from the original 1814 text.

Correct Answer:

Classical rights require state non-interference to protect individual liberty, whereas social rights require active state provision.
