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 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."
To me, the preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America describes the dreams the founding fathers had for this country. These men and women wanted to form a new nation in a way they perceived it would be perfect.
It still is an important part of the people in the US and should guide them in their lifes to achieve their higher goals and serve as a reminder of how and why this country was founded.



This video shows the importance of the preamble as it is conditioned to children so they can grasp the meaning of it. With this cartoon and song method they are more interested in dealing with this topic than with just reading it.




This cute video represents also how important these few sentences are to Americans. Children learn the early on, even if they cannot understand what they mean for their lifes. Nevertheless, they will remember them in their hearts as long as ley life.
