Facts Backing up the Preamble of the Constitution

The essay we are writing about deals with the Preamble to the Constitution to the United States. It justifies whether or not the goals of the Preamble are upheld in the United States or if they are just in writing and not being enforced. Each student has to voice their own opinion on the matter and have to show evidence for they’re thinking.

The first goal of the Preamble is to form a more perfect union. The first question about this goal that we have to answer about this goal is, Are we more united now than during the Revolutionary/Colonial period? My personal opinion to this question is yes. The evidence shows that we a more united now than were. During the Revolutionary/Colonial period there were many divided opinions between the states on what they thought would form a more perfect union. The second question that has to be answered is, Are we more confident as a nation? My thinking on this question is defiantly yes. The evidence for this question is, that if were not confident as a nation we would not be so involved in world discussions if we thought that we were not confident as a nation to back them up.

The second goal of the Preamble is to establish justice. One question than can be asked on this goal is, Are we more “just” society now than before? I think that we are a more just society than we were before because back in history it was very common for people to take the laws into there own hands for what they thought were right. The second question that we can ask is there a double standard of justice in this country? I believe there is because it has happened multiple times in our court systems that if a person has a high reputation or a lot of money they will not receive the same justice as somebody without these benefits.

The third goal is to insure domestic tranquillity. The two questions that are brought up about this goal is, does peace exist in our country? And, Are we a divided nation? My opinion to the first question is that there is definitely peace in our country. There are no major conflicts in our country that can say there is not peace in this country. My opinion and evidence to the second question is that we are not a divided nation because of the system of checks and balances ensure teamwork in our country in order to do anyting.

The fourth goal is, provide for the common defense. The main question here is has this country taken adequate steps to insure our survival against enemies. I think that my opinion on this question is as good as evidence that can be provided. My opinion on this is defiantly yes because it is clear all over the world that if you mess with the United States you will for sure loss because there is nothing more important to the United States than its freedom. The second question is, How much latitude has our government been given to accommodate these threats. Our government has been given the right to build a military for our defense
