Well done! Keep up the great videos! I will be sharing/showing/using your videos to my students. Every U.S. Citizen and Individuals who are applying to become a U.S. Citizen should watch your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Proud to be the First Official Viewer of your PREAMBLE Video! Great Video---Great Introduction! This is a great resource for Florida 7th Grade Students of Civics---This is going to be a "Must See" and "Must Hear" Video. Glad you mention Popular Sovereignty (WE the People) and mention The A.O.C. and so much more!
Pretty good review of the Preamble. This is the second video of this channel I've seen. The first was on Article 4. I went to this one next, as it is a must to understand the Preamble if you want to understand the Constitution as a whole. The comments in here include a lot of push back on General Welfare. They seem to be from people who have already determined that they don't like welfare, so they won't believe the framers meant helping individual people. They misunderstand. Promoting the general welfare is making things better for the People. It does not require that every person benefits. If it did, we could never build a road because someone might not wish to use one. Or we could never open a school because someone doesn't have any children to send to it. Reducing poverty is promoting the general welfare. It applies to all citizens that meet the needs criteria. Alleviating poverty also helps ensure domestic tranquility, by reducing the causes of crime.
I really appreciate your approach to gathering information on a channel before passing judgement! I saw your comment on my video on article 4 too. I wish more watchers were as objective as you. My comment sections are ...flavorful, as you no doubt have discovered.
@@civicsreview5697 Thank you. And "flavorful" is a tactful way of addressing the comments. This video made it clear to me that much of your attention is to aid students in approaching this academically. This is good for two reasons. One, it helps students pass tests. And two, it reminds viewers that the video isn't meant as dissection of each word, with a full background on the history of that word in the 18th century context.
"The Preamble We the people of the United States (1), in order to form a more perfect Union (2), establish justice (3), insure domestic tranquility (4), provide for the common defence (5), promote the general welfare (6), and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity (7), do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." (1) We the people of the United States (in a word, Democracy) (2) In order to form a more perfect Union (better government than a monarchy and Parliament) (3) establish justice (of higher standard than British rule of law, and goal of absolute justice) (4) insure domestic tranquility (to prevent constant fighting and injustice from tyrants) (5) provide common defense (military) (6) promote the general welfare (fighting tyrannical behavior/corruption, operating smoothly and progress) (7) secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity (secure freedom for the people and the people who come afterwards). (8) do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. (words expressing the document as officially established) (3) Justice under a monarchy, the judicial court would frequently bend to the will of a tyrant, and injustice would incur/ensue. (4) See Britain and history of bloody wars, War of the Roses, etc. for examples. What you won't find is, text that describe the cycles of monarchs who are initially supported by it's people, who leave behind children who lack the experience and/or training to become good monarchs. Who become tyrants who need to be overthrown and people rallying under a different monarch in a seemly endless cycles of monarchy and wars. And also relief from tyranny and injustice. One's properties seized (stolen) by a tyrant, for example, and so on (see Bill of Rights, read as, protection from tyranny). (7) 'Blessings of Liberty' is used in place of a deity, to separate religion from government. Involving religion in government would pose a threat of government turning into a theocracy, rather than a democracy. One could point to monarchy government, but monarchy could overthrow theocracy, especially when it started as a monarchy. In either case, Democracy is superior (more perfect union) to either one (dare me to prove it). As you can see, the Preamble contains very few empty words.
my teacher sent me this video to watch she probably died laughing seeing this which is why she chose it but I got to say the best history video i have watched
Your interpretation of general welfare is 100% wrong. No one in 1787 would have thought it was the government's job to do any of those things. General means you do not have to qualify. Madison did not even think the federal government should build roads. No way he would have supported a federal safety net at all.
your general welfare explanation is not close. they are to promote and make sure our conditions for freedom is promoted. general welfare was defined by the founders a few times and that was to remind us of the limited powers they were given in article 1 sec 8 you even actually say it.. to provide we TANF.. thats providing assistance. not promoting

the creation of the 3 branches was for checks and balances
SNAP (food stamps) is SPECIFIC welfare, not GENERAL welfare
Nice to share 🎉
Promote the general welfare does not mean that my tax money goes to pay for other peoples Health and welfare.

The general welfare had nothing to do with social programs nor was it ever intended as a blanket statement for congress to enact any law they want.
NOT ANIME IN THE PREIDENT
The general welfare doesn't mean socialism.
And socialism doesn't mean the sky is falling, chicken little

And u r way of ahn spelling English wurds.
