  1. There wer eight principles, all transfixed into the Preamble

    1.We the People of the United States

    2.in Order to form a more perfect Union

    3.establish Justice

    4.insure domestic Tranquility

    5.provide for the common defense

    6.promote the general Welfare

    7.and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

    8.do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

    The Preamble to the Constitution has no force in law; instead, it establishes the "Why" of the Constitution. Why is this document in existence? It reflects the desires of the Framers to improve on the government they currently had (to be "more perfect" than the Articles of Confederation), to ensure that that government would be just, and would protect its citizens from internal strife and from attack from the outside. It would be of benefit to the people, rather than to its detriment. And, perhaps as importantly, it intended to do the same for the future generations of Americans.
