Answer 1

(2) The power of government comes from the people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States is a brief introductory statement of fundamental declarative and introductory principles of the US Constitution. It establishes some general terms and objectives that the courts use as a faithful reference to the intentions of the so-called Founding Fathers regarding the meaning of the Constitution and what they expected it to achieve.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 2) The power of government comes from the people.

When making the US Constitution, the Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that the government being created would be responsive to the needs of American citizens. This is why they created a government in which citizens have the power to determine their representatives.

This is evident in the preamble, as it starts with "We the people" insinuating that this constitution is a result of the power given to Americans that allow them to make this structure of government.
