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.

In three to five sentences, explain the significance of capitalizing the word "Welfare" in the Preamble.

Answer 1

Providing general welfare is one of the goals of the government and is very important to people. By including it and capitalizing it, it shows that issues such as poverty are a concern of the government. Other words such as, "Order" and "Justice" are also capitalized to show that it is significant and crucial.
