The above answers are correct, but you need to read the entire preamble.
"We the people of the United States...do ordain and establish this Constitution..."
It is to identify exactly who it is that is framing the Constitution. We are. The people of the United States.

It's a statement of egalitarianism. We're all equal, we lead ourselves, there is no royalty, elite class. So profound, so beautiful, so enlightened and the very foundation of the U.S. Constitution. It's the only possible path to our surviving our own brain stems and yet we are letting it slip away. If we do let it slip away, we have no future.

it means that the constitution, the laws of this country, were not passed down from a king, but were established by the citizenry, as represented by their congresspeople.

"We the People" means us. Those without titles and those of America. Us, as Humans are People.
We humans... We Citizens... We Americans...Us. Even with the title your still Human. We have the power.

I'm sure it just means "Us" or "All" or "Everyone", but I'm not American, so don't quote me on that one, lol.
