To determine which of the purposes of government listed in the Preamble of the United States Constitution were also the declared purpose of the Articles of Confederation, we need to compare the two documents.
The Preamble of the United States Constitution states its purposes, which are:
1. To form a more perfect Union
2. To establish justice
3. To insure domestic tranquility
4. To provide for the common defense
5. To promote the general welfare
6. To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity
The Articles of Confederation, on the other hand, were the first constitution of the United States. While the Articles did not have a preamble, we can look into the text to determine if any of the listed purposes were included.
Of the options provided (A, B, C, and D), option B - national defense - is the correct answer. The Articles of Confederation did declare the purpose of national defense, as it stated that one of its primary goals was to "secure the Freedom and Independence of the United States against all their Enemies."
Therefore, the purpose of national defense listed in the Preamble of the United States Constitution was also a declared purpose of the Articles of Confederation.
