A preamble was first used in the American constitution. The opening or preface to the constitution is known as the preamble. The constitution’s preamble is based on Pandit Nehru’s “objectives resolution,” which was authored and moved by him and passed by the constituent assembly on November 26, 1949.

Keywords in the Preamble:

• We, the people of India: It denotes the people of India’s ultimate sovereignty. Sovereignty refers to the state’s independent authority, which is unaffected by any other state or external power.
