Answer 2

Explanation:

The significance of the Preamble lies in its components. It embodies the source of the Constitution i.e., the people of India.

The terms sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic in the Preamble suggests the nature of the state.

The ideals of justice, liberty, equality, fraternity reflects the objectives of the Constitution.

It also contains November 26, 1949 as the date of adoption of the Indian Constitution.

The philosophy of the Indian Constitution is reflected in the Preamble.

The independence of India earned through struggle for independence is sought to be emphasized by the use of the word ‘Sovereign’ in the Preamble.

The Gandhian ideal is aimed to be secured by the incorporation of the word ‘Socialist’ in the Preamble by the 42nd Amendment. The same amendment inserted the word ‘Secular’ to reflect the secular nature of Indian society.

The word ‘Republic’ in the Preamble indicates that India has an elected head, though indirectly elected, the Indian President is the choice of the people of India.

Fundamental values are further strengthened by the word ‘Democratic’ in the Preamble. To emphasize these values the Constitution framers have resorted to the use of the concepts like justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

Liberty is guaranteed to the individuals through the provision of Fundamental Rights, which are enforceable in the court of law. The Preamble secures to all citizens equality of States and opportunity in civic, political.

The unity and integrity of the nation is sought to be secured by the use of the word ‘Fraternity’ in the Preamble and by the provisions of fundamental duties and single citizenship in the Constitution.
