2. PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
Generally Preamble is an introductory paragraph or part in a statute or
other document settings forth the ground and intention of it. Not only
Constitution, but also most of the statutes contains a Preamble. In other
words, it sets out the main objective, which legislation is intended to
archive it. It is a key to the intention of the maker of the Act. The Preamble
to a Constitution is its philosophy, because it contains those ideals and
principles on the basis of which the whole structure of the Constitution is

4. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY
Modern states are welfare states and the principle purpose of such a state is public
welfare. The idea of directive principles in the Constitution was first introduced in the
Irish Constitution of 1937. Article 45 of the Irish Constitution provides for some
principles under the heading of Directive Principles of Social Policy.” Following this Irish
example the idea has got in the Constitution of Burma (Mayanmar) in 1949, of India
in 1950, of Pakistan in 1956 and 1962, and finally has been in the Constitution of
Bangladesh in 1972. The principles has been adopted under the heading of “Directive
Principles of State Policy” in the Indian Constitution, “Principles of State Policy” in the
Pakistan Constitution of 1962 and “Fundamental Principles of State Policy” in the
Bangladesh Constitution.
From the view point of Bangladesh Constitution it may be said that Fundamental
Principles of State Policy are those principles which act as fundamental guide to the
policy making, be it social, economic, administrative or international, governance of the
country, making laws and interpreting the Constitution and laws. Thursday, June

5. DISTINCTION BETWEEN FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS AND DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES
When certain human rights are written down in the Constitution, a
supreme law, and are protected by constitutional guarantees they are
called Fundamental Rights. On the other hand Directive Principles are
relating to social, economic and culture rights which are to be followed
in governance of the country.
Fundamental Rights are enforceable in a court of law and they create
justifiable rights in favor of individuals. On the other hand Directive
Principles are not enforceable in a court of law and they do not create
justifiable rights in favor of individuals.

6. DISTINCTION BETWEEN FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS AND DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES
Fundamental Rights are mandatory in nature whereas directives are
declaratory, but Directive Principles are not mandatory in nature
whereas Fundamental Rights are declaratory.
Fundamental Rights create negative obligation on the state. On the
other hand Directive Principles impose positive obligation on the state.
If there is any conflict between Fundamental Rights and Directive
Principles rights, Fundamental Rights will prevail over the directives.

8. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
The term “Fundamental Right” is a technical one, when certain human
rights are written down in a Constitution and are protected by
constitutional guarantees they are called Fundamental-

supreme sanctity over all other law of the land.

Independence in 1776 and then the incorporation of a Bill of Right in the
US Constitution in 1791.
