from the people. It matches statements made in
the Declaration of Independence

Articles of Confederation.
Instead they wrote a brand new Constitution.

Establish justice,
The laws are supposed to apply equally to everyone. While this was not true in the beginning, the U.S. has made steady progress and officially
everyone has equal rights.

Insure domestic tranquility
The government is to make sure there is
peace within the country. Its
job is to prevent anarchy, constant
riots and rebellion. A time when there was not domestic tranquility was
during the Civil War.

Promote the general welfare
Conditions in the country should be such that people are able to make a
living for themselves. The
economy should be generally prosperous. The phrase does not
mean government handouts to the poor or the rich.

And secure the blessings of liberty
The government is to make sure people
have their rights. People should be able to run their lives without undue
interference from the government. The Founding Fathers would be amazed
at how large our government
has become.

To ourselves and our posterity
The Founding Fathers were not just
thinking of their generation but of those
people living in the future like you. That’s why the Constitution is not very specific. The
Founders knew that things would change over time and they wanted the Constitution to be
adaptable.

Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America
The people are making this new Constitution for the country. This Constitution was only a
proposal. The states would
have to ratify, or approve it.
