Examine the objectives of the Constitution with reference to:

(a) Justice

(b) Liberty

(a) The objectives of the Constitution with reference to Justice as provided by Preamble are:

• Political justice implies that all the citizens of the country possess equal opportunities to participate in the political process. As stated earlier this is done through Universal Adult Franchise under which every adult citizen of 18 years and above has the right to vote.
• Social justice implies that all the citizens are equal in the eyes of law and no discrimination is made on the basis of caste, creed, race, religion and sex.
• Economic justice means fair distribution of resources amongst all those who contribute towards its production. This can be achieved by enhancing national wealth and resources, by creating more employment opportunities and thereby, bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.

(b) The Preamble implies that in a democracy, citizens should have certain Fundamental Rights. These basic rights are necessary for a free and civilised existence. Indian citizens are given freedom of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship.
