U.S. Const., 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 defence, 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."

The Supreme Court of the United States has never held the Preamble to either confer or limit the powers of the United States. The Preamble is considered an introductory and aspirational statement by the People in Constitutional Convention as to the purpose and aims of the United States Constitution.
