The Preamble begins with the words 'We, the people of India', indicating that the Constitution derives its authority from ______.
- the British Parliament
- the Constituent Assembly
- the people of India

Answer: the people of India
Preamble opening phrase: 'We, the people of India' signifies popular sovereignty - Constitution's authority flows from citizens, not from any external power or elite body. Constituent Assembly was elected indirectly but represented people's will. This democratic foundation distinguishes Indian Constitution from colonial-era laws and emphasizes that governance is by, for, and of the people.
