Preamble of the US Constitution Extra Credit

We have taken a closer look this past week at the US Constitution's Preamble.  There are 6 "goals" that our founding fathers wanted to ensure for the future.  Take a look at each one and explain what they mean.   I am NOT looking for synonyms.  I am looking for what it means or examples (think about that sort activity we did in class last week.)  You must use complete sentences for credit.  NO LAST NAMES!  5 points for each goal answered correctly.  So that is a maximum of 30 pts. extra credit.  Reminder that I am closing my grade book on FRIDAY, October 21st at midnight!

Welcome to Mrs. King's new blog page. 
Are you in need of extra credit? 

What was your favorite part of the Declaration of Independence Unit?  WHY?  Use complete sentences and you can earn up to 10 points extra credit!

You can also comment on other student posts to earn more extra credit; however, your comments need to be relevant and thoughtful, not just "great post."
