Thus, following how it is ordered, the Preamble is NOT part of government. Indeed the government is not ordained until the end of the Preamble, thus government has no recourse to it. <br /><br />Those that speak clearly to invoke the Constitution are: We the People. We the People thus take on certain Goals or Objectives, through which the federal government is a Just Means to carry them out and given limited Rights from society and all of its individuals to do this. Whenever the Constitution later refers back to the Preamble (as in Art I) it is in acknowledgement that the ENTIRE Goal is reserved for the People (via later Articles and in Amend. IX and X). Government may not carry out more than that which is the welfare of the Nation as a whole: all individuals and society reserve all other Goals and Objectives to itself and are not given to government. It is We the People who hold all Liberty and Rights and give very limited grant to government to do work for We the People in our name. Thus the welfare as a whole is a limited Goal of government so that the greater good of Welfare of individuals is reserved to those best able to handle it: We the People.<br /><br />That is the social construct as it is laid out via the methodology as I see it. The Constitution is a highly orderly document in how it is designed and laid out, and the Preamble is one of the most revolutionary concepts as it does not presuppose government but most be an active invoking of it: the document is not titled "The Constitution".<br /><br />It starts simply with "We the People..." as only all of the People can bring government about. No government exists until that statement is finished.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24766932.post-50535787443215508732009-06-26T21:06:14.036Z2009-06-26T21:06:14.036ZInteresting piece.

I'm curious to know how you read the clause from the preamble to the Constitution which states that it is intended to "promote the General welfare."d.erishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186054212519025557noreply@blogger.com
