From which Constitution, the ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood given in the preamble of our Constitution have been taken?
French
The Preamble of the Indian Constitution speaks of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity (freedom, equality and brotherhood).
These ideals were borrowed from the French Constitution; they are the famous slogan of the French Revolution of 1789.
Other borrowed features: from the USA – Fundamental Rights and judicial review; from Australia – the Concurrent List; from Germany's Weimar Constitution – suspension of Fundamental Rights during an Emergency.
Hence, the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity were taken from the French Constitution.
