The Constituent Assembly did not make the Preamble merely decorative because what does it do?

Correct answer: It states the ideals, objectives and direction of the Constitution

Correct answer: A. The Preamble introduces the Constitution's basic purpose and values. It expresses the kind of political and social order the Constitution seeks to establish and helps readers understand the direction of its provisions. Ideas such as justice, liberty, equality and fraternity provide a value-based guide for interpreting the constitutional system. The Preamble does not replace the detailed Articles, but it gives them a meaningful framework and reminds institutions of the goals they must serve. B is wrong because the Preamble does not cancel the Constitution; it introduces and expresses its purpose. C is wrong because constitutional government is subject to law, not above it. D is wrong because constitutional values support citizens' dignity and rights. Memory cue: the Preamble is the Constitution's guiding introduction, not a decoration.
