Family Security Matters » Publications » An Abridgement of Constitutional Rights: "The objectives for the United States Constitution are outlined in its preamble. Read it putting emphasis on the action verbs.

“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...”

All the objectives for the Constitution were chosen carefully and reflect the concerns, which surfaced around The Articles of Confederation, this country's first Constitution.

Read this again, but with a renewed emphasis on certain elements.

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."
