Question

A state constitution states it has been written to “establish justice, maintain order and perpetuate liberty.
What part of the US Constitution does this most align with or sound like?

Answer 1

The phrase "establish justice, maintain order, and perpetuate liberty" closely aligns with the Preamble of the United States Constitution. The Preamble begins with the words "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." The themes of justice and liberty in the state constitution's statement reflect the core principles articulated in the Preamble.
