What are the two main goals of the Constitution?

Explanation:

Goal #1: Form a More Perfect Union

When the 13 colonies declared their independence, it was actually unclear whether they were doing so as one unified nation or as 13 smaller nations. While the Articles of Confederation identified the 13 states as a single nation, they didn't really define its overall structure, and most states thought of themselves as basically being independent of each other. So one of the main goals of the constitution was to form a more perfect union (more unified nation). This meant that the new Constitution had to create a stronger central government with an executive leader: the President of the United States.

Goal #2: To Establish Justice

The next goal of the Constitution was to make a nation based on the idea of justice. This was one of those Enlightenment ideas, which said that the law needs to treat every person in the same way, regardless of their social class or wealth. Under England, the colonists didn't always have equal access to fair trials, so they didn't have a true sense of justice. Through the Constitution, the founding figures created a system of federal courts, the judicial branch of the government, to make sure that everyone was treated equally and fairly before the law.

Goal #3: To Ensure Domestic Tranquility

The next goal of the Constitution was to ensure domestic tranquility, which basically means peace at home. With the Articles of Confederation being so weak and the nation so fractured, there were some major rebellions and outbreaks of violence. The Constitution gave more power to the federal government so that it could maintain national unity and have the power to maintain peace throughout the nation.
