Why is the Objectives Resolution called a document that showed the direction of constitution-making?

Because it clarified the basic ideals of the future Constitution

Direct answer: A is correct. The Objectives Resolution set out the broad aims that constitution-makers wanted the future Constitution to pursue. It expressed commitments connected with an independent and sovereign India, democratic government, justice, equality and the welfare of the people. These principles helped members judge whether particular provisions matched the larger purpose of constitution-making. It was not the complete Constitution and did not itself provide every institutional detail. Instead, it supplied an ideological and political direction that later influenced the Preamble and the structure of the Constitution. B is wrong because it did not end Assembly membership. C is wrong because it was not limited to tax policy. D is wrong because it did not stop the Drafting Committee; the committee continued its work within the process. Memory cue: an objectives resolution gives the destination; the detailed Constitution provides the route and institutions.
