Answer 1

D
General Welfare:
The concern of the government for the health, peace, morality, and safety of its citizens. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) the government sometimes has to protect the interests of the community.

The Preamble to the United States Constitution includes the phrase "promote the general Welfare" because its authors knew that the government sometimes has to protect the interests of the community.

This phrase was included in the Preamble because the government is responsible to maintain the proper economic and political conditions that allow the US citizens to thrive and prosper. The government has to create the proper climate for investments and the creation of companies that offer jobs, or the kind of social programs that benefited the poor. One example could be the New Deal program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt to help alleviate the difficult economic conditions during the Great Depression.
