Answer 1

Answer:  GROUP A

• Establish justice
• Insure domestic tranquility
• Provide for the common defense
• Promote the general welfare

Further detail/explanation:

The term "preamble" stems from the Latin compound word "praeambulus" (prae + ambulus), meaning "walking before" or "going before."  So a "preamble" is an introductory statement to something, going before the main content of the document itself.

The preamble to the US Constitution consists of these famous words:  "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, 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."
