Domestic comes from the Latin word domus meaning house or home. In their personal writings the founders often referred to the blessings or happiness of domestic life. They meant their life at home with their families. They saw the family as the fundamental unit of society and its preservation (and freedom from government interference) as one of their highest priorities. So, in this context insure domestic tranquility means to preserve family life and its attendant rights.

We have to read the preamble from start to finish. The bold captions on We The People set it apart from all the other words printed on that document. It wasn't an error, or just put there for glitz. It is we the people's responsibility to ensure domestic tranquility. Not the government's. It is our duty as stewards of this power bestowed on us by our forefathers to make sure that this nation, our home never fails. And if trouble arises, be it domestic or foreign, it is our duty to set it right. We The People, of the United States of America. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice, and ensure domestic tranqulity....... This is our job description as citizens of this country.
On the other hand, the bold captions We The People set off a document that establishes a Government in the first place. To say the very words that created our government are anti-government is not a rational interpretation of what is going on here. We The People is the government. It is a people's government. Too much of what is written assumes the Government is separate from the People when the Founders write the opposite. In choosing our national motto from many one E Pluribis Unum means we join together to get things done. First thing the Founder did was get busy building Government stuff to help us thrive. Post Offices, roads, patent and trademark protection. They were big believes in the what today we refer to a public private synergy.
yes
No rebellions & no fighting between states.
Ensuring domestic tranquility means maintaining peace and order within a country. It involves preventing civil unrest, resolving conflicts peacefully, and promoting unity among citizens. This is one of the goals outlined in the preamble of the United States Constitution.
The Constitution is the framework for our nation. Your question comes from the preamble of the Constitution: 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. In this context, "insure domestic tranquility" means that the Articles of the Constitution provide guidelines for the composition of our government, its laws, rules for transitions of power, etc... to achieve peace within the nation
to make sure that there is peace within the U.S
To provide peace in the house
to make peace in the homes and in the country
Domestic tranquility in the US preamble it means that when you are in high school you must go to the principals office and have sex everyday.
That means to make sure that there is peace within our borders.
If by introduction you mean the Preamble it goes;We the people in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice and ensure 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.I don't know much about the body of the constitution and what is in it, but I always thought, was taught, and assumed that the Preamble was the introduction. So then it would be Ensuring domestic tranquility, or peace within the nation.
It means that the citizens of America will establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and prosperity, and ordain and establish the constitution just so they can form a more perfect America. :D
The phrase domestic tranquility in the preamble refers to peaceful conditions here in the United States. Conditions at the time that the preamble was written, which was right after the Revolutionary war were tumultuous and leaders of the time realized that the government was ineffective in restoring order.
