Read the Preamble to the US 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.
Answer
A
to regulate trade and collect taxes
B
to enforce laws without regard for public safety
C
to maintain power for a select group of people
D
to create a system that guarantees peace and freedom
Explanation
The Preamble lists goals such as ensuring domestic tranquility, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty. These aims support creating a system that protects peace and freedom. Choice D, “to create a system that guarantees peace and freedom,” best reflects those goals; the Preamble does not say the government exists to preserve power for a select group.
