Correct Answer:
B. 1949
The Objective Resolution is a cornerstone document in Pakistan's constitutional development, laying down the fundamental principles for the state. It was debated and passed by the first Constituent Assembly. The famous Objective Resolution was moved by Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan on March 7, 1949, and subsequently passed by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on March 12, 1949. This resolution served as the preamble to Pakistan's subsequent constitutions, establishing the ideological foundation for the nation, thus making 1949 the correct answer.
- 1947 was the year of Pakistan's independence, but the resolution was formulated later.
- 1956 was when Pakistan's first constitution was promulgated, which incorporated the resolution, but it was passed earlier.
- 1962 was the year of Pakistan's second constitution under Ayub Khan, also incorporating the resolution, but not its passing year.
