Why do you think the Preamble starts off with..."With the People of the United States" instead
of "We the states of (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.)”

This is the US Constitution, not a state constitution.

Explanation:

Hi there,

You pointed out that the preamble begins with "We the people" instead of "We the states". While it may technically make sense, the Founding Fathers wanted to use this document to unify the newly independent country. It is important to note that during the early years of the republic, each state had their own interests and treated each other like neighboring countries. The Constitution was the "glue" to bind the states together into one Union. Using "we the people" was one of the ways to solidify this binding.

From a speaking standpoint, it makes sense to put the phrase "we the people of the United States" since it is much more direct and doesn't require lots of effort just to say all of the states. Just imagine how annoying it would be to recite all of the states in the country when saying the preamble!

Well, this is my input on this question. I know there will be other perspectives on this matter.

Hope this gives you some new viewpoints. Cheers.
