Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Every constitution has a philosophy of its own.
Statement II: For the philosophy underlying the Indian Constitution, we must look back into the historic Objective Resolution moved by Pandit Nehru.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

Statement I:

• The statement "Every constitution has a philosophy of its own" is true.
• Every constitution embodies a particular vision or philosophy that shapes the governance structure and functioning of the state. It outlines the values, principles, and objectives of the state and provides a framework for how laws, institutions, and policies will operate.
• For example, the Indian Constitution reflects the philosophy of democracy, social justice, secularism, rule of law, and federalism, which are core principles that govern the state's structure and its relationship with the citizens.

Statement II:

• The statement "For the philosophy underlying Indian Constitution, we must look back into the historic Objective Resolution moved by Pandit Nehru" is also true.
• The Objective Resolution was moved by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on December 13, 1946, in the Constituent Assembly. It laid down the fundamental objectives that would guide the formulation of the Indian Constitution.
• The Resolution emphasized core principles such as sovereignty, democracy, socialism, and secularism, and it sought to secure justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all the people of India. These principles became the foundation for the Preamble of the Indian Constitution and continue to be the philosophical underpinnings of India’s constitutional framework.
• The Objective Resolution helped in shaping the core values that influenced the drafting of the Constitution and its interpretation in later years.

Thus, both statements are true, and the correct answer is Option (1).
