Question

Preamble is an introduction to the Constitution of India. Discuss any four reasons for the importance of Preamble.

Answer 1

The following points explain the importance of the Preamble:

1. The Preamble's language may not be complete from the point of view of law. Still, its spirit is quite inclusive and establishes beyond a shadow of a doubt that India is a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic and that its Constitution guarantees the blessings of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity to its citizens. It promises social, economic, and political fairness for every one of its people. It aims to grant the people all kinds of liberties, including the freedom of religion and belief, freedom of thinking and expression, etc.
2. There is no indication of political or economic ideology in the Preamble. The Preamble is a highly religious statement, and the government is expected to achieve its high objectives.
3. The principles around which the Constitution has been based are explained in the Preamble. It offers a structure for analyzing and judging any government activity or law to determine its merits. It is, therefore, the basic idea of the Constitution.
4. The Constitution's source, people, is referred to in the Preamble. It encourages a spirit of fraternity among all citizens by aiming to grant everyone equality of status and opportunity.
