Question

What is the significance of the Preamble in the Indian constitution?

Answer 1

The preamble is an introduction to the constitution, which contains the fundamental values, philosophy, aims, and objectives on which our constitution is based. The preamble highlights the fundamental values and guiding principles of our constitution. It serves as a guide for both the constitution as well as the judges who interpret the same. However, the preamble is not enforceable in a court of law.

The preamble to our constitution serves two purposes:

It indicates the source from which the constitution gets its authority. It also states the objects which the constitution seeks to establish and promote.
