To "insure" means to guarantee something. "Common" means all of the states, collectively. "Defence" is another spelling of our word, "defense"-- to defend. At the time that the U.S. Constitution was drafted, the colonies had no "national" army or navy. There was no guarantee that, should one state be attacked, the other states would come to their aid. Part of the purpose for writing the Constitution was to provide the states with security in the knowledge that they would be supported, militarily, should the need arise.
