The mind of the makers of the Constitution of India is reflected in which of the following?
✓ Correct answer: a) The Preamble
ExplanationThe Preamble to the Constitution of India reflects the vision and values of the framers, including justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.It outlines the objectives of the Constitution, such as ensuring social, economic, and political justice, and promoting unity and dignity.In the Berubari case, the court held that the Preamble was not part of the Constitution’s operative provisions, meaning it did not have legal force in itself, although it could help in interpreting the Constitution’s provisions.The Supreme Court has affirmed its importance in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), where it was recognized as integral to understanding the Constitution makers intent and philosophy, and it overturned opinion in the Berubari case.So, now Preamble stands as part of the constitution.37
