The Constitution of the United States
"We, the people of the United States", refers to the the citizens of the new country to be formed by the constitution. "in order to from a more perfect union" introduces the purpose of the new constitution which was to replace the articles of confederation which previously drew up the government for the united colonies. The idea was to improve the old agreement and spell out the powers of the federal government as opposed to the powers of the individual states.
