In The Preamble as Policy: A Guidebook to Governance and Civic Duty
the authors show that the Preamble to the Constitution is more than
an introduction to the document; it sets the tone for the rest of
the document and how it should be viewed and interpreted. It is
also a list of goals for a new government and a tool for holding
our elected representatives accountable for their efforts on our
behalf. The Preamble as Policy looks at the history of the
development of the Constitution to show how the Preamble can be
used to judge the laws and policies enacted by the federal
government. The Preamble as Policy weaves political thought,
history, and current events together allowing for examination of an
oft forgotten part of the Constitution. It provides a unique
framework and firm foundation for class discussions or social
interactions about what we have achieved as a nation and where we
might have come up short.
