The founding fathers used the phrase "we the people" because they knew England did not consider the people at all and they wanted to consider its flaws. Also, they were influenced by the Enlightenment ideas of for the people, by the people, to the people. They were enraged that they had taxation without representation and had fought an entire war over it, so it would be hypocritical not to include it in the preamble.
