in 1787 our founding fathers did agree to write a list of principle for keeping people free. The USA was just starting out, a whole brand new country. So our people spelled it out, they wanted to list liberty. And they put those principles down on paper and called it the constitution. The first part of the constitutuin is called the preamble and it explains what our founding fathers set out to do.. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensuring domestic tranquility, provide for the human defense, promote the general welfare and establish justice and liberty to oursevles and our prosperity to ordain and establish the constitution.
