Statement 1 is correct as the resolution inspired the shaping of the Constitution through all its subsequent stages [1]. Statement 2 is correct; Nehru himself described it as 'something more than a resolution,' calling it a declaration, a firm resolve, a pledge, and an undertaking. Statement 3 is correct because the resolution laid down the fundamentals and the underlying philosophy of the constitutional structure [3].
