Detailed explanation-1: -Fourth, the Preamble states that the Constitution exists to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The Constitution is founded to protect individual freedom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: As it is used in the Preamble to the US Constitution, the word ‘posterity’ means those who come after us, i.e. children, grandchildren, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secure The Blessings Of Liberty To Ourselves And Our Posterity: a promise to promote a free and fair system of government that would protect citizens’ freedoms, along with those of future generations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Securing the Blessings of Liberty. The phrase ‘to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity’ appears in the Preamble to the Constitution. The last word is posterity, meaning children and future generations, rather than prosperity or wealth.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
