The 4th Amendment states that people shall not be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures, and no unreasonable warrants shall be issued for unreasonable searches and seizures without a good reason.
The 5th Amendment states that everyone has a right to a trial by jury, and that nobody shall be tried for the same crime more than once. It also prevents people from being forced to provide evidence that could be used to incriminate their own self. Finally, people's property or life or freedom cannot be taken away without due process of law, and private property that has been seized for public use will warrant just compensation.
The 6th Amendment states that every person has a right to a speedy and public trial, as well as the right to be confronted with the witnesses against their self, a right to an attorney in their case, and a right to know the charges they are being tried for.
I highlighted the important parts.
Answer:
Congress is charged by the Constitution with providing for the general welfare of the country's citizens. Historically, this has meant improving transportation, promoting agriculture and industry, protecting health and the environment, and seeking ways to solve social and economic problems.
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.

Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla or simply Miguel Hidalgo, was a Mexican Roman Catholic priest and a leader of the Mexican War of Independence. He was a professor at the Colegio de San Nicolás Obispo in Valladolid and was ousted in 1792. He served in a church in Colima and then in Dolores, Dias.
