"By the people and for the people" was a phrase used by Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address. The full quote reads: "A Government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the Earth"
The US Constitution begins with "We the People..." before setting out its aims for the United States government; "We" connotes that the authors considered themselves to be, by definition, of the people. However, the exact phrase was Lincoln's.
