Read Along with the Constitution’s Preamble

Set the tone for a group recitation of the Constitution’s preamble at court events and educational programs at courthouses and around your community.

This video is simply the words of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, projected at a comfortable pace for easy reading. The words are supported by visuals and background music that give it emotional impact as it sets out the aspirations that “We the People” have for our government and for our way of life as a nation.

Reciting the preamble in unison has become embedded in the traditions of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day September 17 and in observances throughout September. However, the preamble is seen as such an important statement of American values that it is recited at public events throughout the year, including Bill of Rights Day on December 15, and other patriotic holidays and occasions.
