I’ve read the Preamble and can’t help but recognize the ambiguity of the objectives that are listed in it. The objectives are relative! As long as we constantly compare the present to Colonial times, things look pretty good. What the Governed actually meant by establishing a new government is written in the Declaration of Independence: “...., Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.” By the time we get to the Constitution, those objectives are liquid and take on various shapes depending on who the plaintiff and defendant are. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered and the law is seemingly hesitant to respond properly. We must not render evil for evil. The justice that the Preamble promises is relative, therefore I expect a certain outcome. The government is no different from all social institutions; it should not be trusted. Mark 12:17 says, And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. I owe Caesar taxes, but I owe God my trust.
