Explanation

The Preamble to the Constitution of India secures to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity. It clearly mentions Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship. While Justice includes "economic justice," the Preamble does not explicitly mention "economic liberty." The liberties enumerated are primarily intellectual and spiritual.
