Q: What is the importance of the Preamble to the Constitution?
Answer: Indian Constitution starts with the preamble. The
preamble of a constitution is very important since it throws light on its
sources, ideals, values and nature of the administration.
A preamble has a great significance. The Supreme Court of India
in many cases has accepted the significance of the Preamble of Indian
Constitution. It is the key to open the minds of the makers of the
Constitution, and helps the legislature in making the laws, the executive in
implementing them, and the judiciary in interpreting the clauses of the
Constitution in the spirit in which these were enacted. The significance of the
preamble is clear from the following points:
1. It is the Philosophy of the Constitution: Preamble is the
philosophy on which the Constitution is based. The clauses of the Constitution
aim at the realisation of the principles mentioned in the preamble.
2. Guide to the Legislature and Executive: Preamble is guide to
the Legislature and the Executive in the exercise of their powers. The
legislature is expected to make laws which will help in the realisation of the
ideals expressed in the preamble. The executive is expected to enforce them
with the spirit of realising those ideals.
