Practice questions
Q1The words "Socialist" and "Secular" were added to the Preamble of the Indian Constitution by which amendment?
Explanation
The 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 inserted the words "Socialist" and "Secular" into the Preamble, along with other major constitutional changes. The 41st Amendment dealt with the retirement age of members of state public service commissions, not the Preamble. The 44th Amendment reversed several Emergency-era changes and affected rights such as property, but it did not add these two words. The 46th Amendment related mainly to taxation of sale of goods and services. Therefore, the amendment named in the official key is the correct one.
