We are now beginning our study of the organization of the Constitution. the first thing we will discuss is the Preamble. The Preamble is the introduction to the Constitution, it states six specific goals of the U.S. government. Here is what it says:
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.
Here is a fun video about the Preamble from the Andy Griffith show (if you've never heard of the show, ask your parents or grandparents):
