Directions: Re-read the Preamble to the Constitution. You may also read the “translated” version of the Preamble below. After you read them. Take a few minutes to think. In your opinion what word or phrase is the most important in the Preamble.Then explain why in 2-3 sentences. We will share in S.S. class.
I have attached the link to the Schoolhouse Rock video we watched in class on the Preamble to help you.http://www.schooltube.com/video/03f9c858260a4da9b582/School-House-Rock-The-Preamble
“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.”
Translated version: “We the Citizens of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Country, establish Laws, make sure of Peace in our country, establish a Military, allow Voting, and make sure we have Freedom to ourselves and our Future, create this Constitution for the United States of America.”
I think the words, “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity”, are important because every citizen should have liberty, and freedom so they can live in this fair country.
I think that Freedom is the most important word in the Preamble, because the Colonists are fighting for Peace and Freedom. The things about Voting, Establishing a Military, and Establishing Laws, are just some details. But all of them join together, to create one idea, which is to have Freedom to do things because it’s their country.
I think the most important phrase in the Preamble is “make sure we have Freedom to ourselves and our Future.” I think this because it is important to have freedom and especially in the future, because that would be unfair that others have freedom but you don’t.
we form a perfect country , estadlish laws , make sure of peace in our country, estadlish military. Thes is what we need to make a perfect country.
“and make sure we have Freedom to ourselves and our Future, create this Constitution for the United States of America.”
I think this is important because it is saying that we have freedom and our future has freedom. Doing this (Having freedom) Our country will be more pleased.
The most important part of the constitution is “establish laws and make sure of peace in our country.” I think this because it explains what we need to do to make our country better.
I think the most important sentence in the Preamble is to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves. I think that it is the most important because WE the people have to make sure our liberty and blessings are secure in ourselves.
I think peace is the most important because without it , the US would fall apart and we wouldn’t be able to do most things on the preamble.
I think the most important words are allow voting. I think everyone should be able to post their opinion. I also think that people might be unhappy if they do not get to vote.
i think the most important sentence is we the citizens of usa.I think this because they want us to form a more perfect country.also think it’s important because its telling us what to do like establish laws
I think the most important part of the preamble is when it said “and make sure we have freedom to ourselves and our future”. I think this is important because it shows how we led up to doing that. It shows that we kept what we promised and it also stood out of the rest for me.
I think “allow voting” is the most important part because it lets us pick our president .
I believe the most important part of our constitution is the preamble. I think this because it gives us our freedom, rights, defence, promote the general welfare, and promote justice. This my opinion on the preamble.
I think that the most important statement in The Preamble is when it says,” allow voting, and make sure we have freedom to ourselves and our future.” I think this is important because people deserve freedom and to make choices in their life.
I think “make sure of peace” is the most important part because then there is no fighting. Instead of fighting, people can talk to fix the problem.
we stand for america states we stand up for america Leaders
i think the sentence we the people in order to form a more perfect union establish justice provide common defense is the most important part of the preamble
I think the words establish justice are most important because they needed to establish justice and they were doing it
In my opinion the most important statement was “make sure of peace in our country”. I think this statement was important because there should be peace in our country and without peace in our country this world would be terrifiying and scary to live in.
I think that the sentence “make sure of peace in our country” is the most important sentence. I believe that this is the most important sentence because if there is peace it is easier to make decisions with other country’s and even other states because there will be less fighting and more civilized conversations. 🙂
Make sure of peace in our country is the most important in my opinion because there should be peace in our country because if there wasn’t people wouldn’t want to live in America.
I think that the most important word of the 5th grade preamble is peace. I say this because if they did not have peace there country would be out of control. Also because there peace with other states would be out of control and may lead to war.
I think the sentence make sure peace in our country because that means to have peace in our country not just fight all the time just have peace and not fight. i know that because back then people used to fight all the the time with peace they will not fight that much.
I think the most important part is the freedom. I think this because you can do things no matter what/who you are. Everyone has freedom instead of some people having it. It makes it fair.
The most important word in the in the fifth grade Preamble is establish. it is the most important because it is say to bulid something to protect the country.
I think the most important part is when it said (in the 5th grade words) have the right to vote. I think this is important
because if the whole state had to agrea on one no one would agrea.
i think that it is important because they establish rules and laws like they said. also have peace:) 🙂
voting is important because we should be able to have a say in what the gonverment. what the gov. does to our country
”Make sure we have freedom to ourselves and our future”. I think this is the most important sentence because this means that the people have freedom and everyone who lives in America.
“Make sure the peace in our country.” Because without peace our country would be a disater. and our country wouldn”t be a country
I think the most important word is freedom and the most important phrase is make sure we have freedom to ourselves and our future because I think everyone should be free to do what they want to do unless it is something bad.
We need the preamble it secures our rights, freedom, liberty, and justice. If we did not have these rights we would be controlled by the government
They wanted to make sure that it was difficult,because they didn’t want to have to make an amendment. Over riding a veto should be difficult and making sure 2/3 majority so it wasn’t a one vote decision.
