Nothing needs clarification. That cute phrase is to explain the purpose
of
the constitution. It has ZERO weight.

In fact, if any imbiciles think the intro to the constitution is
meaningful,
they probably read the ramblings on the walls of outhouses with serious
introspection also.



You are completely wrong. Here's the link.

For the purposes of this discussion there is no need to read beyond the
first sentence. It's very clear.



The first sentence of the Purpose and Effect of the Preamble is as follows.
Yes, it's very clear.

"Although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the
Federal Government, the Supreme Court has often referred to it as evidence
of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution."
