All three statements regarding the Objectives Resolution are correct. The Objectives Resolution, moved by Jawaharlal Nehru in the Constituent Assembly in December 1946 and adopted in January 1947, laid down the fundamental principles and guiding philosophy that informed the framing of the Indian Constitution and indeed inspired its shaping through all subsequent stages (Statement 1). Nehru himself articulated that it was not merely a dry resolution but a declaration, a firm resolve, and a pledge representing the will of the people (Statement 2). It outlined the core ideals such as India being a sovereign republic, guaranteeing justice, equality, and liberty to its citizens, thereby providing the essential underlying philosophy of the Constitution (Statement 3).

The Preamble of the Indian Constitution is largely based on the spirit and the key principles enshrined in the Objectives Resolution.

The resolution affirmed the commitment to secure adequate safeguards for minorities, backward and tribal areas, and other backward classes.
