Constitution of the United States
The Constitution was written to establish the colonies independence from the British, and become their own nation and have the right to govern themselves. Being a different nation from Great Britain, we set up our own form of government such enforcing new legislative branches and have presidency instead of a Monarchy. It's even stated in the Preamble "We The People" meaning we are our own citizens, we are our own people, and we will protect and serve duty to our own nation. The Preamble is the most important part of the Constitution because it sets the tone for the rest of the Constitution. Reading the Preamble again brings back a timeless classic memory in 8th grade when we were assigned to memorize the Preamble. My teacher showed us a song called Preamble by School House Rock. With it's catchy tune, and cute cartoons to go along with it, it still symbolized the justice and independent freedom we as a nation had gained. It showed one of the most proud moments in America and recognizes the bold moves our founding fathers were able to do.
