Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Economic liberty

Solution :

The correct option is Economic liberty.


The Preamble to the Constitution of India explicitly resolves to secure for all its citizens:

JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.


As seen from the text of the Preamble:

- Liberty of thought, liberty of expression, and liberty of belief are explicitly mentioned under "LIBERTY".

- "Economic" is mentioned in the context of "JUSTICE" (Social, economic, and political justice), not under "LIBERTY".


Therefore, Economic liberty is NOT embodied in the Preamble to the Constitution of India as a specific form of liberty.
