Which one of the following objectives is not embodied in the Preamble to the Constitution of India ?
Show answer
Answer: B. The Preamble promises 'LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship'. So liberty of thought, expression and belief are all in it. Economic liberty is not. The Preamble speaks of economic justice, not economic liberty. So the answer is economic liberty.
Watch for: Watch for 'economic justice' in the Preamble. Students mix up the justice clause with the liberty clause.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because liberty of thought is in the Preamble.
- C. Wrong because liberty of expression is in the Preamble.
- D. Wrong because liberty of belief is in the Preamble.
