The stated purposes of the United States government under the Constitution, as outlined in the Preamble, include:

  • promote the general welfare
  • provide for the common defense

The other options, such as acquiring new territories, representing all citizens equally, and generating wealth for businesses, are not explicitly stated purposes in the Preamble of the Constitution.
