Will Medal And Fan!!! Will someone help me rewrite this paragraph so its more modern with the same meaning? "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. Thanks! :)

you can do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start off with some of your words then take some of there's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is this called???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi love_k.....I am completely stuck here. I do not know what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its a preamble for the article of Constitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well technically there is no way to reword this without getting in trouble as long as you keep the quotation mark .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, first off, let's think of how we would say this to a friend. Try to find words that are similes. For example, tranquility means peace. So the phrase " ensure domestic tranquility" might be put as "Make sure there is domestic peace."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should be fine if you use thiis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, what I have to do is rewrite it in a modern way using different words so it sounds less 1750's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really just do not know what to write or what words to use..:|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jcbako Ok, let's start with the first sentence.. ""We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, " We could say, "We the people of the United States, in order to make a better country,"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay..thats a good start thanks. Also, you can call me Jaidyn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that make sense? You want to break it down to make it as simple as possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that makes sense..I might be able to take it from here just one more question....What does Posterity mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Posterity means future generation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh nice..thank you so much. I gave you a medal for your help and you guys are both already fanned
