The verb "ordain" can mean to officially enact, and "establish" means to found or define. This phrase in the preamble to the US Constitution simply means the Constitution is being put into place as the basis for the US government.

The prologue to the US Constitution is the preamble. It states what the intent of the Constitution is, what it hopes to accomplish.The PreambleWe 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 purpose of the constitution is presented in the Preamble. The Preamble of the United States Constitution reads as follows: "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."
The Preamble of the US ConstitutionWe, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence [sic], 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
There is not an introduction to the Preamble. The Preamble is the introduction to the Constitution. It states, "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 the constitution for the United States of America."
The Preamble (that is, a section that "walks before" the main document) of the U.S. 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." (U.S. Const., Preamble). Emphasis added.This essentially proclaims that it is the People of the United States that formulate and establish the Constitution. "Ordain", as in the commissioning of a cleric, suggests a reverently divine aspect of the perception of the Constitution, while "establish" suggests the permanence of a firmament that is the enduring nature of the Constitution, and of the nation it governs and describes.
