Preamble to the U. S. Constitution "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, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

This is how I would rewrite this Preamble so that other people can understand it.

When the framers our state's constitution began to create it, they looked to the u. s. constitution as a model. much like the national government, they created a state government in which each branch could keep the others from having too much power. for example, the state supreme court can- once a law has been passed and enforced- rule that the law violates the state constitution. if this happens, the law is no longer enforced. what principle of government is being described in this passage? a) federalism b) separation of powers c) checks and balances d) republican government
