what does this sentence mean??

Question

do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America


huh????????????

haa no one knows ... first one to explain and makes me understand gets best answer :]]

Answer 1

Ordain means to enact and make it official.
Establish means to start it and put it into effect.

So, they're saying that the constitution is going to be the official law from that time on.

Answer 2

It is the last phrase from the preamble of our (USA's) Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.”

Answer 3

This sentence basically states that the writers and supporters of the Constitution willfully set up a constitution for the United States of America, and afterwards made it an official document that all political figures must follow.

Answer 4

i believe it means to "enforce" (ordain) and "continue building" (establish) on to the constitution that our founding fathers wrote many years ago.

Answer 5

~The "sentence" means nothing because it is not a sentence. The phrase, taken in the context of its intent, means a great deal. The phrase, as an exercise in vocabulary, means exactly what it says - any dictionary or thesaurus should be most helpful to you in this regard.

Answer 6

are you sure that's the whole sentence?
haha.

if it is, my best guess is that it is supporting the establishment of the Constitution of the U.S.

Answer 7

They decree it and they set it up (the Constitution) for the USA.

Answer 8

weird....
