Favorite article/amendment.:

The Preamble

Why is it my favorite.:

I feel the preamble while considered by some to not be part is the working constitution, is vital because it is the thesis statement of the document. It lays out what the goals are for the document. What the founders hoped to achieve with the tool known as democracy.
