Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Preamble states that the Constitution derives its authority from the people of India. It declares India to be of a sovereign, socialist, secular democratic, and republican polity. It specifies justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity as the objectives. It stipulates November 26, 1949, as the date.

Detailed explanation-2: -The preamble is an introduction to the highest law of the land; it is not the law. It does not define government powers or individual rights.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sovereign, without any reference, implies the authority or power of a state that is solely independent. The word has been taken from the article of the constitution of Ireland for the Indian constitution, and it was present in the preamble from when it was drafted, unlike some keywords added after the 42nd amendment.
