"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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."
I can only imagine how incredible it must have been to be there when the framers of the constitution penned its first words. I would add commentary on this, the Preamble, but I do not wish to detract from its simple elegance. It is indeed a marvelous work of art, able to portray so much with so few words...all chosen very carefully I am sure.
