Choose the correct answer :
Answer: A
The key marks (i), (ii) and (iii) as correct: the Preamble is a part of the Constitution, it can be amended, and its provisions are not enforceable in courts.
Statement (iv), that the Preamble is a source of power, is not accepted, since it is neither a source of power nor a limitation. Option A.
The Supreme Court in Kesavananda Bharati held that the Preamble is a part of the Constitution and can be amended without destroying the basic structure, as happened in 1976. Its provisions are not enforceable in courts, and the Preamble is neither a source of power nor a limitation on power.
