Answer 1

Hint:
- The preamble embodies the core philosophy and the universal values: democratic, spiritual and theological–on which the constitution is founded.

Complete step by step solution:
The 'Preamble' to the Constitution of India is a short introductory statement setting forth the governing intent and values of the text and showing the source from which the document derives its authority, meaning the citizens.
It was ratified by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949 and entered into operation on 26 January 1950.
Important keywords mentioned in the Preamble are:
- Sovereign
- Socialist
- Secular
- Democratic
- Republic
- Justice
- Liberty
- Equality
- Fraternity
Preamble is part of the Constitution.
- Preamble applies to the fundamental framework of the Constitution.
- Preamble is neither enforceable nor justified by a court of law. This means that courts can ot issue directions against the Government of India to enforce the ideas in the Preamble.
- Preamble may be revised and amended only once by way of the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
 Adult Franchise:
- The Constitution of India came into effect 70 years ago, on 26 January 1950.
- The Constitution was an innovative political experiment— universal adult franchise, federalism in a territory of more than 550 princely states, and social revolution in a profoundly unequal society.
- However, it was also a unique accomplishment in terms of constitutional architecture.
