At the risk of overselling my point, I would like to share with you one other analysis
of the Constitution based only on its Preamble. I have never seen this information set
out this way, but I think it makes an important point.
The point, I think, is that if we look just at what the preamble says it is concerned
about, the predominant subject is Quality of Life. The founders of our Constitution
did not start out with what structure should we build. They started out with what
kind of life do we want and then what kind of structure do we need to accomplish
that.
Think on that for a moment before we change the subject.
