प्रश्न
With reference to the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, answer the following:
Give the significance of ‘We the people’ in the Preamble.
उत्तर
‘We The People’. It has perhaps been inspired by a similar expression in the American Constitution. The words ‘ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION’ makes the people the holders of this authority. Speaking about this purpose and intention of the Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar said in the Constituent Assembly: “This Constitution has its roots in the people and it derives its authority from the people.”
