Answer:

The first three words are “we the people.” They are not, as Erwin Chemerinsky points out in his book of the same name, “we the citizens;” there is no limitation on the U.S. Constitution’s promises. Those promises, laid out explicitly in the preamble, are sweeping: to ensure justice, tranquility, welfare and liberty to every single person who arrives upon on our shores. It is a light in the darkness that the oppressed, the beaten, the frightened, the maligned, the yearning, the dreaming have looked to ever since it was put forth.

It is a promise we have failed miserably to keep.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have stated pure fact.
