Question 635 • English Language Arts 10 - Second Semester
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.
Answer
i
improving upon a previous attempt at creating a new union.
d
duplicating the original government system set up by the union.
c
creating a union with stronger ties between individual states.
b
building up the union with help of foreign governments.
Explanation
The Preamble’s phrase “a more perfect Union” suggests that the Constitution was meant to improve the union that already existed under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution therefore represents an improved attempt at creating a national union, not a duplication of the old system or a project with foreign help.
