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, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. What is the significance of capitalizing the word "Welfare" in the Preamble?

Answer 1

It emphasizes the meaning of it.

Either that or bad grammar

Answer 2

To add emphasis is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, we don't usually capitalize the common nouns that are names of people, places and, things. On the other hand, we do capitalize proper nouns, such as specific names of a person, place, or thing.

Even though capitalization rules are straightforward, there are some exceptions, as in the excerpt, where the words Welfare and Blessings or Liberty are capitalized to indicate how important they are.
