- D.It stands as a prayer to start the provisions of the constitution.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. It tells us who are the authors of the Constitution and for whom it has been promulgated.
The preamble of the 1987 Constitution serves three main purposes: it provides an interpretive aid for ambiguous provisions, states the general objectives the Constitution aims to achieve, and functions as a solemn invocation. However, it does not identify the specific authors or indicate for whom it was promulgated—this information is found in the Constitution's body and historical records, not in the preamble itself.
