What can you find there?
To answer your questions and complete your journal activity, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by understanding the purposes of the United States as outlined in the Preamble of the Constitution. These purposes include:
- To form a more perfect union
- To establish justice
- To ensure domestic tranquility
- To provide for the common defense
- To promote the general welfare
- To secure the blessings of liberty
2. Read the Constitution and identify provisions that relate to each purpose. A good resource to find the Constitution is the official website of the National Archives and Records Administration, which has a section dedicated to the Constitution (archives.gov).
3. For each purpose, discuss at least two provisions in the Constitution that ensure the purpose is achieved. Explain how these provisions contribute to fulfilling the purpose. You can support your argument by quoting relevant sections from the Constitution.
4. To provide examples of how the U.S. Government is still fulfilling these purposes today, you can look for current events, policies, or initiatives that align with each purpose. Reliable sources for such information include government websites, established news organizations, and think tank publications.
5. Write at least one paragraph for each purpose, making sure to address both the provisions in the Constitution and present-day examples. Ensure that your answers are well-developed, providing sufficient evidence and analysis to support your statements.
6. Revise and proofread your answers to ensure clarity and coherence. Make sure your paragraphs are well-organized, with a clear topic sentence and supporting details.
Remember, it is important to cite any sources you use, whether you're referencing the Constitution or citing examples from current events. This demonstrates academic integrity and strengthens the credibility of your work.
Good luck with your journal activity!
