The Preamble

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

In my opinion the Preamble was a show of frustration. The Articles of Confederation were not working and they knew something had to be done. The Framers were dissatisfied with the United States as it stood and were striving for something better. This was their chance to put into writing the ideals of the newly formed United States. The new United States, under this new Constitution, would be more perfect. Not perfect, but more perfect.










My Opinion: I chose this video because it demonstrates that any one under the clause "we the people" has the ability to understand what it entails. This child's parent probably has more faith in the Constitution that most and felt the need to impart that belief on their child.
