Yashvi Desai answered |
The term Republic means that the Head of State in a country will be an elected individual and not hereditary. It does not convey the meaning whether the position of the Head of State is nominal or not. In case of India, Bangladesh, Germany, etc the Head of State is a nominal position whereas in countries like USA, France etc, the Head of State is not a nominal position.

Preamble of the Constitution of India is an introductory statement that outlines the objectives and the basic principles of the Constitution. It is not a part of the enforceable Constitution but it reflects the ideals and aspirations of the people of India.
The objectives of the Preamble are:

The Preamble of the Constitution of India
The Preamble serves as an introduction to the Constitution of India, outlining the core values and guiding principles. Its language and ideals are influenced by various global sources, particularly from the following constitutions:
Influences from the USA
- The concept of "We, the People" emphasizes the sovereignty of the citizens.
- The ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity resonate strongly with the American principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.
Influences from France
- The phrase "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" is directly borrowed from the French Revolution's motto.
- The emphasis on social justice and the rights of individuals reflects the French influence on democratic ideals.
Influence from Italy
- While some aspects of Italy's constitutional framework have inspired various nations, the direct influence on the Preamble of the Indian Constitution is minimal.
- Thus, Italy does not significantly contribute to the foundational language of the Preamble.
Conclusion
Given these influences, the correct answer is option 'C': Only 1 (USA) & 2 (France). The ideals drawn from these two countries significantly shape the Preamble's vision for India, while Italy's impact is not prominent in this context.

The first statement is correct. The term "secular" was indeed added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. This addition aimed to emphasize the secular nature of the Indian state and ensure equal treatment of all religions.
2. Fundamental Right to Freedom of Religion:
The second statement is also correct. Articles 25 to 28 of the Indian Constitution guarantee the fundamental right to freedom of religion. These articles provide individuals with the right to profess, practice, and propagate their religion, subject to certain restrictions such as public order, morality, and health.
3. Implication of the Term "Secular":
The third statement is incorrect. The term "secular" in the Indian context does not imply the possession of supreme power by the people. Instead, it signifies the separation of religion from the state and the equal treatment of all religions by the government.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (1 and 2 Only), as the first two statements are accurate in relation to the Indian Constitution and the concept of secularism.

Analysis of Statements
The question evaluates three statements regarding the objectives of equality and fraternity in the Indian state, as enshrined in the Constitution of India.
Statement 1: Equality Objective
- This statement is correct. The Indian Constitution emphasizes equality by prohibiting discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, or economic status under Article 15. It aims to create an equitable society.
Statement 2: Goal of Fraternity
- This statement is also correct. The goal of fraternity in the Indian context is to promote a sense of brotherhood among citizens, ensuring that the dignity and rights of individuals are respected, as highlighted in the Preamble of the Constitution.
Statement 3: Equal Access to Resources
- This statement is incorrect. While ensuring equal access to resources, education, and employment aligns with the principle of equality, it is primarily associated with the objective of equality rather than fraternity. Fraternity focuses more on social solidarity and unity among people.
Conclusion
- The correct answer is option B (1 and 2 only), as both statements 1 and 2 accurately reflect the objectives of the Indian state, while statement 3 misattributes an equality-related aspect to fraternity.
Understanding these distinctions is crucial for comprehending the foundational principles of the Indian Constitution and its vision for a just society.

Aman Joshi answered |
The correct answer is option 'B' - Berubari Case, 1960.
Explanation:
The Berubari Case of 1960 was a landmark judgement by the Supreme Court of India that dealt with the question of the constitutional status of the Preamble. The case arose out of a dispute between India and Pakistan over the ownership of the Berubari Union of West Bengal.
The Indian government sought to transfer the Berubari Union to Pakistan under the Nehru-Noon Agreement of 1958. However, the transfer required an amendment to the Indian Constitution, which would have affected the territorial integrity of India. The amendment was challenged in the Supreme Court on the grounds that it violated the basic structure of the Constitution.
In its verdict, the Supreme Court held that the Preamble was not a part of the Constitution and therefore, it could be amended without affecting the basic structure of the Constitution. The court held that the Preamble was a mere introductory statement and did not confer any rights or impose any obligations.
The court observed that the Preamble was not a source of power or an instrument of limitation, but merely a key to understanding the Constitution. The court also held that the Preamble was not enforceable in a court of law and did not confer any justiciable rights.
This judgement had far-reaching implications for the interpretation of the Indian Constitution. It established the principle that the Preamble was not a part of the Constitution and therefore, it could be amended without affecting the basic structure of the Constitution. However, this view has been challenged in subsequent judgements, such as the Kesavananda Bharati case of 1973, which held that the Preamble was a part of the Constitution and formed an integral part of its basic structure.

Minerva Mills Case
The Supreme Court judgment that clarified that the Preamble is not a source of power to the government but a key to understanding the Constitution's objectives is the Minerva Mills Case.
Background:
The Minerva Mills Case, officially known as Minerva Mills Ltd. and Ors. v. Union of India and Ors., was a landmark case in Indian constitutional law. It was decided by a bench of seven judges of the Supreme Court of India on May 21, 1980. The case involved a challenge to certain provisions of the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, which had made significant changes to the Constitution of India.
Key Arguments:
The petitioners argued that the 42nd Amendment Act violated the basic structure doctrine as established in the previous landmark case of Keshavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala. They contended that the amendment had, among other things, infringed upon the fundamental rights of citizens and undermined the independence of the judiciary.
Supreme Court's Decision:
The Supreme Court, in its judgment, struck down several provisions of the 42nd Amendment Act, including those that sought to curtail the power of judicial review and dilute fundamental rights. The Court reaffirmed the basic structure doctrine and held that the amending power of Parliament is not absolute and must be exercised within the limits set by the Constitution.
Preamble as a Key to Understanding Objectives:
In its judgment, the Supreme Court clarified the nature and significance of the Preamble to the Constitution. The Court held that the Preamble is not a source of power to the government but a key to understanding the Constitution's objectives. It emphasized that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution and provides the basic structure and foundation for the interpretation of the Constitution.
The Court further stated that the Preamble reflects the resolve and aspirations of the people of India and serves as a guiding light for the interpretation of the Constitution. It emphasized that the Preamble's objectives, such as justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity, must inform and guide the interpretation of the Constitution and the exercise of governmental power.
Conclusion:
The Minerva Mills Case clarified the significance of the Preamble to the Constitution and its role in guiding the interpretation of the Constitution. It established that the Preamble is not a source of power to the government but a key to understanding the Constitution's objectives. This judgment reaffirmed the importance of the Preamble as a guiding principle for governance and the protection of fundamental rights in India.

The term "sovereign" in the Indian Constitution implies that India is independent and not under the authority of any other nation. It signifies that India is free to govern its internal and external affairs without external interference. This concept is crucial in understanding the autonomy and self-governance of India as a nation.

The correct answer is option (d) because the term "Secular" was not part of the original Preamble of the Indian Constitution. It was actually added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. Statement-II is accurate in stating that the term "Secular" was included through an amendment and not present in the original Preamble.

Statement-I correctly mentions the position of the Supreme Court in the Gopalan vs. State of Madras Case in 1950 regarding the enforceability of the Preamble. It is a factual statement based on historical legal proceedings.
However, Statement-II is incorrect. The S.R Bommai Case of 1994 did not specifically introduce new applications of the Preamble as suggested in the statement. Instead, the S.R Bommai Case primarily dealt with issues related to the misuse of Article 356 of the Indian Constitution and the imposition of President's Rule in states. It did not significantly impact the interpretation or applications of the Preamble.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C Statement-I is correct, but Statement-II is incorrect.

Statement-I is correct because the Preamble indeed encapsulates the foundational values and principles of the Indian Constitution. It serves as a guiding light and reflects the philosophy of the Constitution. However, Statement-II is incorrect. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution is not legally enforceable in a court of law, as established by the Supreme Court in the Berubari Union case (1960). Additionally, the Preamble is not subject to regular amendments through the constitutional amendment process, as it is considered a part of the basic structure of the Constitution, which cannot be altered in a way that changes its fundamental features.
Consider the following statements regarding the Preamble of the Constitution of India:1. The Preamble was designed by Prem Behari Narain Raizada, a famed artist from Jabalpur.2.

1. The Preamble was not designed by Prem Behari Narain Raizada. It was designed by Beohar Rammanohar Sinha, a famed artist from Jabalpur. Prem Behari Narain Raizada was responsible for writing the original copies of the Constitution by hand. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.
2. The term 'Socialist' was included in the Preamble through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1976, not the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act. Therefore, Statement 2 is incorrect.
3. The Preamble indeed declares that the Union of India has five basic characteristics: Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, and Republic. This is a correct depiction of the Preamble. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is Option C

Statement-I correctly defines sovereignty as the independent authority of a state, indicating that the state has the power to legislate without external control. This aligns with the understanding of sovereignty in the Indian context.
Statement-II accurately describes the essence of a Republic, where the President is elected by the people, and all offices are open to citizens, reflecting the democratic nature of the Indian political system.
Therefore, both statements are correct, and Statement-II provides additional clarification and context to Statement-I, making option (a) the correct answer.

Analysis:
- Statement-I: The Preamble of the Indian Constitution reflects the philosophy and fundamental values of the Constitution. This is correct. The Preamble sets out the ideals and goals that the Constitution aims to achieve, such as justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.
- Statement-II: The Preamble of the Indian Constitution is amendable under Article 368. This is also correct. The Supreme Court of India, in the case of Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973), held that the Preamble is a part of the Constitution and can be amended, though the basic structure of the Constitution cannot be altered.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct, but Statement-II does not explain Statement-I.
Explanation:
- Statement-I is correct because the Preamble indeed reflects the philosophy and fundamental values of the Constitution.
- Statement-II is correct because the Preamble can be amended under Article 368 of the Constitution.
However, Statement-II does not explain Statement-I. While both statements are correct on their own, the amendability of the Preamble does not explain the role of the Preamble in reflecting the fundamental values and philosophy of the Constitution. The two statements are related to different aspects of the Preamble.
