The Blessings of Liberty

Liberty is called a blessing, and the verb attached to it is secure, to make safe and to hold. The clause reaches past the people writing it to ourselves and our Posterity, the generations not yet born. The founders wrote with the future in the room. The freedom was not only for them but for those who would inherit it, which means the duty to keep it is inherited too. The Preamble's last purpose is a debt owed forward.
