its actually "to ourselves and our posterity..." from the preamble, "we the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America. it means we are securing the blessings of liberty as said to ourselves (as in us) and our posterity (as in our future-future generations) hope this answers your questions and corrects what you originally thought to be in the constitution. thank god for my 8th grade social studies teacher for having us memorize it and recite it to the class! ~lindi~
