It can be said that many Americans did not view President Wilson's goal of establishing an international peacekeeping organization after world War 1 very well, as Wilson was defeated in the election that took place after the war. During the War, the Americans were ready to take all kinds of pain for the country to win the war,
I agree.
First, let's take a look at the beginning of the Gettysburg Address:
"Fourscore and seven years ago our father's brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, concieved in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..."
(This is off the top of my head so please forgive me if I missed a few words or punctuation.)
When writing this, Abraham Lincoln was giving the citizens of the United States a bit of a history lesson. He explains that the Founding Fathers believed "all men were created equal" and implicitly states that him and everyone else share a common ancestor when he says, "...our fathers."
With that, let me explain why I wholeheartedly agree that "We the People," is the most important phrase in the Constitution:
That small excerpt from the Preamble creates a sense of togetherness, liberty, and suprisingly, justice. Before America gained it's independence, there was no "We the People." There was a monarch who did as he wished. There wasn't any so called, "free speech" and there certainly wasn't a sense of togetherness. Once 'Merica cut ties with the Tories and gained independence, they had to establish their own government. So the Founding Father's, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, upheld a government that is not a monarchy but a democracy. A democracy is a "government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives." In England, you Americans did not have that choice of electing individuals to rule. You did not have a choice as a people. Well in America, you/we were granted freedom and free speech. And now that "we the people" are all "created equal" we can look back to those first three words of the Preamble and see the important history behind them.

Explanation:
People have speculated that the Mayan empire has fallen from power by things like overpopulation, extended drought, and wars. Overpopulation means not enough food produced for their people, the drought meant not crops were not as fruitful as they once were and if they were at war their people would not be nourished enough to fight a winning battle.
