The Preamble Of The United States Constitution

Since the beginning of this great nation, the american people have been greatly influenced by the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence justifies the reasons why the 13 colonies were breaking with Great Britain and establishes a foundation of principles to lay their new government on. The Preamble to the Constitution declares their acknowledgement of Justice, Liberty, and Posterity that would be elaborated in the Constitution. The Declaration was written in 1776, its purpose was to explain to foreign nations why the colonies had broke with Great Britain. The Preamble, written in 1787, explains why the makers of the constitution made our government a republic. Between the Declaration and the Preamble, the Declaration better influences the American People in today's society.

In comparing Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists, The Declaration of Independence, and U.S. Constitution, it is evident that the basis of all three documents is the idea that all human beings possess God-given fundamental rights and that government is created to protect those rights. The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, is the first of the three documents penned. This is important because it defined the rights of liberty and equality of all American citizens as outlined in John Locke’s natural law thesis (Martin, page 113). In addition to providing an itemized account of the grievances colonist’s held against King George III of England, it served to justify the colonist’s quest for independence and separation from British rule. The Declaration of Independence conveyed to the crown that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, which among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Founders’ of the New World understood that their pursuit of liberties and autonomy specified in the Declaration of Independence could not come to fruition without instituting decrees. In 1787, the U.S. Constitution, was written to replace the Articles of Confederation with a better defined series of stringent laws that would legally uphold the freedoms and privileges established in the Declaration of Independence.

The preamble was the opening of the Declaration, which stated why the colonies had to over through the King and become a separate nation. Thomas Jefferson stated that These rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

When America first became a country, the government used the Articles of Confederation to govern the States, then known as the colonies. They later discovered that it did not give the central government enough power and made it weak. So, one day at a Constitutional Convention, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Founding Fathers came up with the Constitution for the new, growing country, and We the People. After they debated, discussed, and compared points and topics, they finally ratified the Constitution and Bill of Rights in 1791. The Preamble, also known as the introduction to the US Constitution, provides significant constitutional interpretation for

In 1787, our founding fathers came up with a few principles that would establish what we now know as the United States of America. These principles were put on paper to serve as a guideline for how the United States would be operated and structured. This historical piece paper became known as the Constitution of the United States. In the Constitution, a Preamble is implemented at the beginning that essentially tells what the founding fathers set out to do.

The preamble is the opening statement of the Unites States constitution adopted in September 17, 1787. The preamble outlines and explains the reasons why the framers of the constitution made the United States a republic, by doing this; the founding fathers replaced the articles of confederation. The preamble helped explain why the constitution was written.

When examining the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States, there are six specific purposes that are laid out. These six purposes consist of forming a more perfect union, establishing justice, ensuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, promoting general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty. While the Constitution was being written, the United States was struggling to maintain itself as one united country due to the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation; thus the Preamble was established in order to bring a sense of unity and strength to the crumbling country-to-be. In a sense, the Preamble was a success, as the country had in fact unified under one flag and had been able to stabilize themselves. However, when looking at the government of the United States today, compared to back then, it can be seen that many of the traditional values that were a staple to the American way of life have been diminished to the point of nonexistence.

The United States Constitution provides the National Government three distinctive branches of government: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial Branch, each with its own form of powers, duties and roles. Separation of powers and duties within the branches enable them to check and balance one another as well as balance the authority of the other two.

To American’s freedom means many different things depending on who you are, due to the fact that everyone has their own opinions. To American’s, freedom could mean having the right to do things that they want to do with rules or as the Webster Dictionary states it “ the quality or state of being free;...”. I believe that the Preamble to the Constitution is the statement that provides the most driving representation of America today because it talks about “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility…”, with the way the world is today I feel we need more of these things.

The U.S constitution is a 230 year old document written by a group of men from the 13 colonies in 1787. The constitution is the highest form of government in the United States of America. The constitution sets up and defines the government and protects the basic rights of Americans. The preamble is the opening statement to the U.S constitution, it contains 6 goals. The 3 goals I will be focusing on include goal number 2: establish justice, goal number 4: provide for the common defense and goal number 5: promote the general welfare.

In the 1700s when the United States had detached itself from British rule it was then seen as a plutocracy. The U.S established as a democracy; a government of the people and by the people. However, this establishment was in favor of the rich, educated, and powerful and anyone who was categorized or known as elites and it has remained in favor of these people ever since. Yes we can say we have witnessed variations and seen a semi-democratic rise in the past two centuries, but we have remained a plutocracy hidden behind the word that people use to cover its true identity, democracy. Those like the framers, the public opinion role, interest groups, and money all portray our hidden plutocracy.

The Preamble is an adopted introductory statement to the United States Constitution that highlights the constitutions principals and fundamental purpose. One of the goals in the Preamble is to establish justice. This goal of the preamble makes sure the law applies to everyone in disregard to race, religion, gender, color, etc. The provisions of the constitution do their job in insuring that it is possible for this goal to be achieved. There are many amendments put in place that grant United States citizens basic civil rights such as equality in court, voting equality and right to civil liberties.

The Preamble of the United States Constitution defends the natural rights of humans; the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The first ten amendments are in place to ensure those natural rights can never be infringed upon by any man or woman, but what about yourself?

The Constitution is the foundation of the United States Government. Each branch of the government relies upon this document to dictate how power is distributed in this democracy and the people rely on the Constitution to protect them from the Federal government's power. Before the Constitution the colonies were divided under the governance of the Articles of Confederation. This first government was adequate through the Revolutionary War but afterwards the people needed union and a strong central government. The need for a government spurred men into action and the Constitutional Convention was called to develop this much needed strong central government. These men were known as the Framers of the constitution. Unfortunately not all was good at the convention. There was much debate about the way the legislative branch between the Virginia plan and the New jersey Plan and the debate was resolved with the Connecticut compromise. There were many more debates over things great and small but one of the most important was the debate between the Federalists and anti-Federalists about the ratification of the constitution and including a Bill of Rights which guarantees the people's rights and protections therein. The combination of these many factors created the Constitution as it is known today, a strong central "trunk to the United State's "tree" that will grow new branches over time and let others fall to fit the needs of the people resting under its protective
