What is the preamble of the declaration of independence?

Question

Snapple- I think that is the constitution.

I need to know where it begins and ends because I have to memorize it.

Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence doesn't have a preamble, the Constitution has a preamble

The Declaration of Independence



http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html

The United States Constitution
(Preamble Below)

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 2

Don't get the Declaration of Independence confused with the Constitution. The Declaration begins "When in the course of human events" and launches right into it without preamble.
The Constitution is a legal document (boring) and has a preamble stating the end goal of all the laws. This Premble begins "We the people."

Answer 3
