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, 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.
p.s. interesting fact, did you know that originally the preamble was supposed to say "we the states"? But they changed it so that no single state could say that didn't have to abide by the constitution, rather, every person of the nation is bound and protected by it. Neat!

You're looking for the preamble to the US Constitution, but did you know that there is a preamble to the Declaration of Independence too?
