Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Preamble of the Constitution express that the Constitution itself is a guiding document that will improve the country.

Explanation:

The Preamble to the United States Constitution is a brief introductory statement of fundamental declarative and introductory principles of the Constitution. It establishes general terms and objectives that the courts use as a faithful reference to the intentions of the Founding Fathers on the meaning of the Constitution and what they expected it should achieve.

The phrase "WE, THE PEOPLE" is of singular importance because it stipulates that the power and authority of the federal government of the United States of America does not come from the various states or the people of the various states, but from an entity that is identified as the People of the United States of America, with the Constitution serving as a compact or contract between the People of the United States of America, the various states, and the new entity: the federal government of the United States of America.
