Lesson 3
The Constitution of the United States of America
Preamble
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.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

Man's Best Friend The one absolute unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world- the one that never deserts him. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He is as constant in his love as the sun in it's journey through the heavens. When all other friends desert; he remains. Author Unknown
