It Pleases Me

As a citizen of the United States I believe the following:
Our Constitution is a contract among us.
The Constitution is about cooperation.
The preamble is about why we agree to cooperate.
Its a statement of our motivation and that of the framers.

We each have our own understanding of the letter and spirit of the Preamble and the rest of the Constitution. Still, if we are to maintain our union, we need to agree on how we shall act on that understanding.
Our daily deciding on these acts among ourselves and our representatives is how we govern.
Understanding, agreeing, and cooperating on an act demands a lot of talk, a lot of communication.
Understanding and being understood is called for.
Understanding and being understood calls for some skill and some willingness to persist in the dialogue that keeps us united.

Its my understanding that we once agreed to be the supreme authority in this nation and state and that we provisionally delegate some authority to a federal government. Was that the case? Is it still the case?
I know I still feel the brotherhood, pride, and beauty of our united citizenship.

The following are my motives for being a citizen of this republic. I believe that they were the motives of the founders as well:
~ form a more perfect Union
~ establish Justice
~ insure domestic Tranquility
~ provide for he common defense
~ promote the general Welfare
~ secure the Blessing of Liberty

They chose these as their top goals for themselves and their posterity.

I note and applaud the words they choose to emphasise with capitalization.:
~ Liberty
~ Blessing
~ Welfare
~ Tranquility
~ Justice
~ Union
~ People

I love the meaning I find in these seven capitalized words.
