The term that is applied to the first part of the United States Constitution is the "preamble" since it is in this section that the general principles of the Constitution and the United States are explicitly stated.

The correct answer is 1. Preamble

The articles are the body of the constitution. They come at a later part, not as the beginning. The amendments come at the end, since they were added after the constitution had been written, so they weren't in the body itself. The declaration is not a part of the constitution and is a separate document that is the declaration of independence. The preamble is found in the first part.
