Answers
Our Constitution begins with a short statement of its basic values. This is called the Preamble to the Constitution.
A preamble is an introductory statement in a document that explains the document’s philosophy and objectives. In a Constitution, it presents the intention of its framers, the history behind its creation, and the core values and principles of the nation.
It is indicated by the Preamble that the source of authority of the Constitution lies with the people of India.
The preamble declares India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. The objectives stated by the Preamble are to secure justice, liberty, and equality for all citizens and promote fraternity to maintain the unity and integrity of the nation.
The date is mentioned in the preamble when it was adopted i.e. November 26, 1949.
