Explanation:

While Parliament often tried to assert the supremacy of the state and DPSPs over Fundamental Rights, the Supreme Court upheld the rights of the individual as enshrined in the Constitution, by giving appropriate judgments. DPSP 39B and 39C has been given precedence over Fundamental Rights.

• The article 39(b) of the constitution gives power to the State to direct its policies regarding the ownership and control of material resources of the community and to make policies to help distribute these resources in the best possible way to serve all the people in the community.
• The Article 39(c) of the constitution gives power to the state to make changes in the economic system so as to prevent the concentration of wealth and means of production by a person or a small group of people.
• Both these articles are used by the state as tools to make policies so that the benefits of economic development and growth is enjoyed by all sections of the people and not just the privilege few.
• Since these Articles emphasis more on the common good of the people, they are placed above individual rights defined by Article 14 & Article 19.
• The Preamble embodies the basic philosophy and fundamental values—political, moral and religious on which the Constitution is based.
• The Preamble cannot override the specific provisions of the Constitution. In case of any conflict between the two, the latter shall prevail.
