Which document begins with 'We the People'?

• A. Constitution
• B. Declaration of Independence
• C. Bill of Rights
• D. Articles of Confederation

Answer: (A)

The opening line "We the People" signals popular sovereignty—the idea that the government gets its authority from the people themselves. That phrase is used at the very start of the United States Constitution, setting the tone that the Constitution is a framework created by and for the citizens to govern themselves.

The Constitution’s preamble then lays out the purposes of the new government, showing how it intends to organize a functioning union and secure liberty. The other documents serve different roles: the Declaration of Independence explains why the colonies sought independence and lists their grievances; the Bill of Rights enumerates protections for individual rights within the framework of the Constitution; the Articles of Confederation was an earlier, looser plan for union and does not begin with "We the People."

So, the document that begins with "We the People" is the Constitution.
