At the end of this lesson, you will be able to do the following:
- I can tell the story of the Contitutional Convention.
- I can sing along with the Preamble of the Constitution song... and also tell why it is important!
- I can describe the purpose of the three branches of government.
The Preamble of the Constitution
The Preamble to the United States Constitution is an introduction to the Constitution's purpose and guiding principles. In simple terms, it shares the Founding Fathers' intentions for the Constitution's meaning and what they hoped the Constitution would do.
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.
Can you describe in your own words what this means? Look at the vocabulary in bold... Can you define those words?
