The Preamble to the Constitution for Dummies

What did the founding fathers mean by The Blessings of Liberty – in the preamble of the U.S. constitution, where they are telling us what the document is all about? Easy. Refer to The Declaration of Independence, which talks about divinely-endowed unalienable rights, including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (Cribbed, largely, from John Locke). Note that divinely-endowed rights are, indeed, blessings. According to that document, governments are instituted among men to SECURE these rights. It must, naturally, be a primary purpose of the new government to do so. They would, therefore, have mention that intention in the preamble of the new constitution. They did so, and they used exact same verb, TO SECURE.

If the new government did not fulfil that requirement, then the people (according to their D.O.I.) would have the right to alter or abolish it. in principle, those blessings are more important than any particular instance of government.

ur wierd

There is so much info here, answer this question, Who are the people to be governed and the Governed who is going to establish this constitution for the United States of America and also for the State's wherein they reside? Now read the Constitution as if you are creating it. And follow the Tenth Amendment as if you are establishing Justice between the United States and the State that you reside in. Nobody gets this, if the Constitution was ratified by the States legislators in each of the State by definition this Constitution is also a State law as We the people of the United States pass our State Constitution. As Lincoln said in his first inaugural speech if you removed the Constitution you are still in the Union because of the article of Association, the Declaration of Independence, and the Northwest Ordinance which shows how people of the United States can form new States to become part of the more perfect Union. The Constitution of the United States did not replace any of these articles pass in Congress who had the authority of the people of the United colonies then became the United States. By article 6 with the word "establishment", and if you read the Northwest Ordinance you could see what power this Congress was taking from the people and you could also compare it to the 14th Amendment. As Madison would say follow the facts Law. Then you would have no debate in why they hid the Constitution from this Congress and how stupid the 16th Amendment is written.

Sir, when you speak of the general welfare compared it to the common welfare or you can say capitalist or socialist. And two established Justice the general term of law inequality, to establish Tranquility is between the United States in the states. This is where the Fourteenth Amendment comes to play because it's not about the Departments or the ministrations of the people in the United States is about the people in those departments in the states and in the United States. And to defined the Constitutional is what Madison says follow the facts of law.

Very helpful!! Studying for the Praxis II Social Studies 5004 exam

Hey keith. I'm going through a Trump thing right now and I wanted to validate/refresh my own knowledge of the Constitution, et. al..(sic).

Point is, YOU are a great presenter of these facts. Minus the cheesiness, I mean. ( I wish you a big studio someday }. Your obvious understanding of them helps me to get the point as well.

Thanks man. :)

It's prosperity not posterity

hi mrs ballou

I didnt understand a word he said!!! Way too fast.

every time he looks down hes reading part of the preamble

All you're doing is MESSING it up and making everything CONFUSING with your BULLSHIT approach.

1)the wink at the beginning scared me. i saw benjamin frankin flirting with one of his many jezebels in that wink.  
2) as for the end, Im just a bozo smart guy. without the smart. Im just a bozo.  
3) Lastly, perhaps the vagueness (is that a word?) of the language suggests the founders were considering a more fliexible interpretation of the constitution....i say this despite the peril i may face from incoming replies from my neo conservatives friends

Why do you'll thing the WE is man or the people? Is the UNITED STATES also the United States Of America?

Great video

The concepts is that we the people take a hold of our destiny keep government small and lean. Over half my money and my wife's money is being taken away from us through taxes that do not represent us and leave us with nothing for retirement our future and inheritors... Because of a few rich American occupied by bankers through the Federal Reserve charging interest on securities not backed by silver or gold and controlling the flow of money the amount that is physically out there controlling the markets.
