Abstract

The constitution is considered a document that contains a set of political, economic, and socio-cultural ideas in a particular society, as well as the freedoms and rights of citizens that have been established by the constitutional legislator and included in the constitutional document. The preambles of constitutions serve as an introduction to them, and modern constitutions often include a preamble or introduction that serves as a preface to the constitution. The preamble includes a number of foundations, principles, provisions, goals, or constitutional orientations, and indeed, the preamble of the constitution as a whole summarizes most of the key elements of the constitution. The content of preambles varies from one constitution to another based on political, economic, and social circumstances, and preambles are often short or medium and rarely long, encompassing many historical events of the state, people, or nation. Some constitutions hint at future aspirations or commit to the principles of the United Nations Charter or to resolving disputes peacefully.
