What are the specific purposes of the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights?
ANSWER
The purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to declare freedom from British rule and that they were their own country.
The first purpose of the Preamble to the Constitution is to state explicitly in the first three words “We the People” that the constitution is the act for all people. The remainder of the preamble then discusses the objectives of the constitution and the government it establishes.
The main purpose of the Bill of Rights is to define the civil liberties of the American citizens.
