The language and ideals of the Preamble of the Constitution of India are influenced by or borrowed from which of the following constitutions?
(A) USA
(B) France
(C) Australia
(D) Canada
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The sources are the USA, France and Australia only. The idea of a Preamble opening with "We, the people" comes from the Constitution of the USA, the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity come from the French Revolution and the French Constitution, and the language of the Preamble is traced to the Constitution of Australia. Canada contributed the quasi-federal scheme with a strong Centre and the vesting of residuary powers in the Centre, not anything in the Preamble.
