C. The People

The preamble to the Constitution says, 'We the people, in order to form a more perfect union; establish justice and secure domestic tranquility; provide for the common defense; promote general welfare and secure the blessings of true liberty...'. This statement provides us with evidence to believe that when creating this country, our forefathers wanted the ultimate authority in the United States to be 'the people'.
