The term preamble is derived from the Latin preambulare which means to "to walk before". It is an introduction to the main subject. It is the prologue of the Constitution.
A preamble is not a necessary part of a Constitution, but it is always advisable to have one. Majority of the constitutions of the world contain a preamble. The objective of a preamble is to set down origin and purposes of the Constitution and to serve as an aid in its interpretation.
