ABSTRACT

The Resolution on the Aims and Objectives of the Constitution moved by Jawaharlal Nehru at the commencement of the Constituent Assembly also stated that the Constitution will ensure political, social and economic justice to all citizens and protection to their fundamental rights. Most of the speeches were devoted to support that part of Nehru's resolution, now contained in the Preamble of the Constitution, assuring justice and protection of fundamental rights; another point of discussions was the suggestion by Jaykar to await for Muslim League to join the Assembly. The committee wrote the draft of the constitution in less than six months and presented it to the Constituent Assembly on 21st February 1948. The draft prepared by the drafting committee was sent to all members of the Constituent Assembly for their perusal and suggestions; the committee took into consideration all suggestions and amendments, and the revised draft were formally tabled in the Constituent Assembly by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.
