(a)The Preamble
(b)The Fundamental Rights
(c)The Directive Principles of State Policy
(d)The Fundamental Duties
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) The Preamble
Members of the Constituent Assembly, notably Sir Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar, described the Preamble as reflecting ‘the mind of the makers’ because it encapsulates the goals, values and vision underlying every provision of the Constitution. Hence option (a) is correct; Fundamental Rights, DPSP and Duties operationalise specific parts of that vision but do not themselves express the framers’ overall philosophy.
