What fundamental principle did the 1949 Objectives Resolution establish regarding state sovereignty?

💡 Explanation:

The Objectives Resolution, passed by the first Constituent Assembly on March 12, 1949, is a foundational document in Pakistan's constitutional history. Its first and most fundamental principle declares that sovereignty over the entire Universe belongs to Allah Almighty alone, and the authority delegated to the State of Pakistan is a sacred trust to be exercised by the people's chosen representatives within the limits prescribed by Him. This principle later became part of the Constitution of Pakistan (e.g., as the preamble to the 1956, 1962, and 1973 Constitutions and later incorporated as Article 2A).
