E) the Preamble of the Constitution

Answer 2

The Preamble of the Constitution

Step-by-step explanation:

The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution states the following:

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.

The framers of the Constitution wrote the Preamble to introduce the core ideas of the new government, which is based on the principles of democracy, justice, domestic tranquility, liberty, America's general welfare and popular sovereignty (a principle that the first phrase "We the people" embraces).
