Breaking Down The Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This concept, brought forth by our forefathers, was not anticipated to be a law, but to serve as a bridge to the Declaration of Independence. To me, this remarkable paragraph shows that the new government would not be perfect, but more perfect than the last one.  https://youtu.be/ka3V2SgYD98 I chose this video to represent what the Preamble means to me because I believe that this video encompasses the true meaning of the Preamble.
