‘We The People’. It has perhaps been inspired by a similar expression in the American Constitution.

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.”
