Your question is not clear. However I am trying to answer.

The preamble means an introductory statement, a preliminary explanation. The term is particularly applied to the opening paragraph(s) of a statute, which recite historical facts which may be pertinent to the issue being discussed. It is often confused with the long title or the enacting formula of a law.

Origin and history of the word : Origin: 1350–1400;-Middle English, from Old French preambule, from Medieval Latin praeambulum, from neuter of praeambulus, walking in front : prae-, pre- + ambul re, to walk; see ambulate.]

The Preamble to the United States Constitution consists of a single sentence (a preamble) that introduces the document and its purpose. The preamble neither grants any powers nor inhibits any actions. It only explains the rationale behind the U.S. Constitution. It is generally believed to have been written by Gouverneur Morris.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,[1] 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
