The Preamble to the US Constitution is a brief statement of purpose, just one sentence long.
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.
While it may appear to be innocuous, this single sentence contains powerful language. Some of the words have been used at various times to justify vast extensions of the federal government's power. This has been done by treating the rather general phrases of this sentence as if they were actual articles of the Constitution, which of course they aren't. As just one example, hundreds of billions of tax dollars are spent by Congress every year to finance a welfare/social security redistribution and entitlement complex that has its legal foundation in just four words in the Preamble -- "promote the general Welfare." Another example is the US interstate highway system, which rests entirely upon five other Preamble words -- "provide for the common defence." In both of these examples, it is not possible to find a legal basis for these things anywhere else in the Constitution.
