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.

Not bad for a bunch of Dead Slave Owners & assorted Oppressive White Guys that according to the intelligentsia, we should not follow anymore.That we should “modernize” perennial concepts such as Liberty under the canons of the New Way Of Thinking.

I think I’ll stick with this version. It works good enough.
