Well, yeah, that is the preamble to the Constitution... It is easily Googled... And it outlines the general principles that the rest of the document try to codify... Alot of folks don't really pay much attention to it because it doesn't fir their particular biasesa dn prejudices but I think it states very clearly the intent of the Founding Fathers...

"insure domestic tranquility" is the part that disturbs me about the right wing in this country... And I think if Tom Jefferson has seen the guy with the gun strapped to his leg at a rally where the president was to speak that ol' Tom would say, "Hey, this wasn't what we had in mind"... Yeah, Thomas Jefferson did say that the document would have to be revsisted from time to time... I'm not even sure that he thought it would survive even for a 100 years but I am sure that he would not be a Tea Partier these days but quite the opposite...

"to form a more perfect ****union*****"... Not just words...
