Preamble Reflection
By Leon Gbee

Ive come to better understand that despite the flaws and other problems that exist in the US (and all other countries), the
preamble is the first step in establishing a rule of law, a system of security and justice standards, and the joining to peoples to share a
common belief for a united country.
The ideals the Preamble represents are what make this country the power it represents. Its economic and geopolitical statuses
has set a stage for the continuation of a nation envisioned by the founding fathers. Its diverse union of people further ensures that the
words of the Preamble lives with us daily.
