That was a great definition of preamble. As we all know, we have our preamble in our US Constitution. It reads:
"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."
It doesn't have much legal authority, but that said, it was written during the Constitutional Convention, held in the fall of 1787 in Philadelphia. The framework for the Constitution was written by James Madison, and signed by convention delegates on September 17th. It was written down by Jacob Shallus, whose handwritten copy is still on display. There you go – you don't need to put any fast cash to find out what the Preamble to the Constitution says.
