Rededication of America

REDEDICATION OF AMERICA BACK TO GOD
THE 17th OF MAY, 2026, IS A SPECIAL DAY IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT IS A MEMORABLE DAY DECREED BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

A DAY OF THE RE-DEDICATION OF AMERICA BACK TO GOD.

I AM PRAYING THE SIX GOALS OF THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

There are six goals of the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America. Each of the Preamble's six goals responded to a real problem the framers had lived through under the Articles of Confederation. They aren't vague aspirations; they're a diagnosis of what had gone wrong and a promise to fix it.

  • Form a more perfect Union: Under the Articles, states acted as semi-independent nations, imposing tariffs on each other's goods and regularly refusing to fund the national government. "More perfect" didn't mean flawless. It meant better than the fractured system already in place.

  • Establish Justice: The framers wanted a legal system that applied laws equally, placing the law above any individual, including government officials. This included a federal judiciary that could resolve disputes between states and between citizens of different states.

  • Insure domestic Tranquility: This goal carried real urgency. The framers had watched Shays' Rebellion, a debtors' uprising in Massachusetts, expose the national government's powerlessness to restore order. The Federalist Papers cited fears of "domestic factions and insurrection" as a central argument for ratification.

  • Provide for the common Defense: Rather than relying on each state to maintain its own military, the new government would build a unified national defense against foreign threats. The inability of the Confederation Congress to raise troops or fund defense had been one of the Articles' most dangerous failures.

  • Promote the general Welfare: The government would serve the broad public interest rather than favoring particular individuals, factions, or regions. Worth noting: this same phrase appears in Article I, Section 8, where it actually carries legal weight as part of Congress's taxing and spending power. In the Preamble, it functions as a guiding principle, not a grant of authority.

  • Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity: "Posterity" was a deliberate word. The framers didn't just want freedom for their own generation; they embedded a forward-looking obligation into the Constitution's opening sentence, binding the government to protect liberty for every generation that followed.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY FOR AMERICA AND YOU CAN BE A PART!
