To Establish Justice

Just a Reminder of an Important Part of the Preamble?

Our Founding Fathers knew the difficult circumstances of living under British rule. Under this government it was common to see injustice and unfairness in the administration of their national laws and commercial trade. Courts did not rule in uniform manners and rules were not applied equally to all people. Fair trade was hindered. Injustice was common place.

Unfortunately, Justice cannot exist by itself. It must be establish and maintained. In 1787 the Framers had this great principle in mind when they organized the Constitution. They desired a strong judicial court system that equitably settled disputes - one where citizens would have a right to a fair trial and equal treatment. They desired a court system that maintained uniformity in its administration of law. They desired a court system that allowed fair trade inside and outside the country.

They organized a government with a special Judicial Branch to see to these great and important issues of Justice. Although not perfect, today the United States of America is one of the fairest countries in the world.
