Detailed explanation-1: -The definition of this phrase states that the United States has the power and authority to form military units to protect the country from its enemies. Providing for the common defense means the country defends each state instead of individual states providing their own military forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the key ways the federal government meets its constitutional duty to “provide for the common defense” is through the passage and implementation of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In order to avoid this danger, while providing for the nation’s security, the Founders made the common defense a shared responsibility of Congress and the President, the elected (and separate) branches of government. This ensured the American military would serve the nation, not subvert the rule of the people.
