Discussion
Consider the following statements, and choose the correct answer :
(i) The American Constitution was the first to begin with a preamble.
(ii) "Preamble" to the Indian Constitution, resembles "Independence of the United States" observes N.A. Palkhivala.
(iii) Justice M. Hidayatullah, called the preamble, as the Identity Card of the Constitution.
(iv) A Republic Includes all public offices being opened to every citizen without any discrimination.
Answer: B
Statements (i) and (iv) are correct: the American Constitution was the first to begin with a preamble, and a Republic means public offices are open to every citizen without discrimination.
Statement (iii) is wrongly attributed, since it was N.A. Palkhivala who called the Preamble the identity card of the Constitution. Statement (ii) is also not accepted by the key. Options with (ii) or (iii) are therefore rejected.
The American Constitution of 1787 begins with the words We the People, and our own Preamble was drawn from the Objectives Resolution moved by Jawaharlal Nehru in the Constituent Assembly in 1946.
