Question

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity...." Q: A: These are the opening lines of what famous document?

Answer 1

Answer:

These are the opening lines of the Constitution of the United States.

Explanation:

These opening lines were written in the Preamble of the Constitution serving as an introduction for the states' main purpose ("in order to form a more perfect union") and the actions for the fulfillment of that purpose. In previous documents such as the Articles of confederation the word "people" was not used, so the Constitution made it clear that the states were united as one. This document serves as the supreme law and the most important articles describe the division of powers into Legislative, Judicial and Executive, and the responsibilities of the state governments in relation to the federal government.

Answer 2

The Preamble of the Constitution.
