Preamble in Everday Life?

Here are a few scenarios to think about (from our class discussion today):

1. An immigrant comes to America seeking the same treatment, jobs, and opportunities as everyone else.

2. Each state gives up their own currency to create a national one (the American Dollar).

3. Our military bombs another country that has just attacked us (or will in the near future).

4. A man is convicted of robbing a bank.

5. The government prepares a vaccine so that we don't all fall victim to the bird flue epidemic; keeps us safe and healthy.

6. The National Guard comes to the aid of victims of Hurricane Katrina and helps stop the rioting and violence in New Orleans.
