"We the People" are the opening words in the Preamble to the Constitution. However, it can be confusing to try to interpret the meaning of this phrase. The words are considered to represent the citizens of the United States. By beginning the Preamble in this way, the authors want to convey the idea of the people being the ones who support the words stated in the Preamble. It also indicates that the ultimate political power of the nation comes from its citizens.
