Detailed explanation-1: -The preamble sets the stage for the Constitution (Archives.gov). It clearly communicates the intentions of the framers and the purpose of the document. The preamble is an introduction to the highest law of the land; it is not the law. It does not define government powers or individual rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insure Domestic Tranquility: referred to the new government’s commitment to keep peace within America’s borders. Provide For The Common Defense: to keep the states safe from the threat of foreign nations (other countries) by ensuring there was a national military (army, navy, etc).
Detailed explanation-3: -The function of the Preamble is to outline the goals of a united government as originally designed by the Framers. It also explains the purpose of the Constitution. The Preamble also establishes that power of the government comes from the people who live in the country and not from the people who are in power.
