We the People Retro Button

"We the People" are the first three words of the U.S. Constitution's Preamble, signifying that the government is founded on the power and authority of the citizens. These words declare that the government exists to serve the people, a concept that has evolved over time as the meaning of "the people" has expanded through amendments and movements for inclusivity. This phrase represents the foundational principle of American democracy: that the power of government comes from its citizens, who have the right to hold it accountable.
