Natural Rights and Democracy - Day 149

Introduction

Similar to the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. The Constitution also presents principles that guide our nation and its people. The first part of the Constitution is called the preamble. In the preamble, the words “We the People” are used. Today, we will look at the preamble, and try to decide why these words were included.
