उत्तर
The Preamble is the introductory part of the constitution, which sets out the main objectives of the Constitution. Though the Preamble is not an operative part of the Constitution, it has a hold on the governments. This is because when there is a dispute regarding the interpretation of the text of the Constitution, the explanation given in the Preamble comes in handy.
