The Preamble
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.
The preamble is very
important. For myself, it signifies what it means to be an American. It gives
me reassurance and security to know that the Constitution of the United
States is/was made to protect me and all of the citizens around me, no matter
what race, gender or ethnicity that we may be. It gives me the satisfaction of
being proud to be from such an amazing country that, in a sense, I and other
citizens have a say in what is done. It paves the path for the Constitution and
what America stands for: freedom and equality.
It was hard for me to find a video that truly spoke the meaning of the preamble to me, but this was the closest that I could find. I chose this video because it is a little more modernized. It also talks about Medicare which I truly believe in and that is what stood out most to me. At the beginning he also says how we can be one big reunion and I like that a lot as all of us people can come together as one in equality.
