  1. "We the people" in the Constitution describes the concept of popular sovereignty, ie, people are the ultimate sovereign & they're the ones who've given the Constitution to themselves.
  2. The word 'Secular' was originally present U/A 25.    So only 1&2 are correct.

Also request to check question 18 and 27 too 

Question 18: it deals with acts of states dealing with land reforms and not parliament. 

& Question 27 yes BR amedkar was against inclusion of the word 'socialist' in the preamble as he felt the nature of the states economy and society should be decided by the people from time to time and hence should not be fixed by the assembly.

sovereignty in India belong to people.


- 'we the people of India having solemnly resolved' in the preamble denotes the authority from where the power is derived. Therefore, being sovereign is granted by the people. Thus we have sovereignty in India.

- in the last line it says 'adopt, enact and give to our self', therefore belonging to the people.


Therefore, the sovereignty in India belong to  people. However, Indians are not sovereign, except when they caste their own vote.
