The Preamble to the Constitution of The United States of America We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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 parts of the Constitution and all amendments are to be judged by how well or how poorly they meet the original goals of The Founders as specified in the Preamble. If you are an originalist or a strict constructionist, know that the original Founders were very strictly specific about what they wanted the Constitution to provide: - An increasingly perfect Union of states and citizens - Justice for all under the law, a nation in which no one is above the law - Harmony, peace, and security for all citizens - All things are to contribute to the general Welfare, not to private profit and power. The general Welfare is sacred, not property rights. - Blessed Liberty to all citizens and all within our borders In 2024 how are we doing in meeting our goals? Would the authors of The Preamble be proud of us now? If not, could it be because many of our "leaders" are willfully ignoring The Preamble?
