While the Preamble to the Constitution doesn’t necessarily assign powers to the government, it does offer a set of principles that should guide those who make laws and interpret them. Here’s the Preamble; see if you can find those principles:
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.
Do you see anything that says our government should not have a heart? Don’t you think the Preamble establishes a certain uniquely American spirit for governance?
