PLEASE HURRY WORTH 30 POINTS!!Use the quotation to answer the question.

“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 [future generations], do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
What does the Phrase "to ourselves and our Posterity" suggest about the Founding Fathers' goals?


They were willing to sacrifice their liberty for the benefit of their children.


They aimed to create a strong government, independent of the will of the people.


They wanted to create a social contract that future Americans could not break.


They wanted to create a lasting government that future Americans would benefit from.
