Answer 1

The stated purposes of the United States government under the Constitution include:

• provide for the common defense
• promote the general welfare

"Represent all citizens equally" is an important principle, but it is not explicitly stated as a purpose in the Constitution. "Generate wealth for businesses" is not a stated purpose of the government under the Constitution.
