Question

The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution called for a new system of government that could "promote the general welfare." Which of these is the BEST example of that role of our government?
A) providing government funding to build a community health care center
B) providing government funding to train postal workers and utility workers
C) providing government funding to support high school sports and athletic programs
D) providing government funding to allow under priviledged students to participate in a tour of Washington D.C.

Answer 1

So therefore the answer would be A, providing government funding to build a community healthcare center.

This would make it so more people had access to hospitals, and could seek medical aid when they needed it, so they could generally be more healthy.

Answer 2

The answer would be A
