Success In The United States

Decent Essays

So to have success in the United states we need to form a 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. Some of these things may not be as important as the others.
There are some things that can help to make success and there are some that aren't
