Which goals in the preamble have we achieved and why? which goals in the preamble have we not yet achieved and why?

answer:

although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the federal government,1 the supreme court has often referred to it as evidence of the origin, scope, and purpose of the constitution.2 “its true office,” wrote joseph story in his commentaries, “is to expound the nature and extent and application of the powers actually conferred by the constitution, and not substantively to create them. for example, the preamble declares one object to be, ‘provide for the common defense.’ no one can doubt that this does not enlarge the powers of congress to pass any measures which they deem useful for the common defence. but suppose the terms of a given power admit of two constructions, the one more restrictive, the other more liberal, and each of them is consistent with the words, but is, and ought to be, governed by the intent of the power; if one could promote and the other defeat the common defence, ought not the former, upon the soundest principles of interpretation, to be adopted? ”3

explanation:

glass wants to live in a world of super heroes and villains. he have lived all his life trying to be responsible for the creating the origin story of a super hero; he schemed and caused many incidents (many of them fatal) hoping that someday someone with superpowers would show up and save the day.

he knew himself very much. he saw himself as a villain of a real-life super hero story. he was aware of his strengths (more than smart enough for being manipulative and scheming) and weaknesses (having fragile bones and having to rely on his mind to succeed).
