While the Preamble is not the Law of the Land, it has a binding character of a Law in as far as it
sets a clear direction, goal or objective to which activities of the constituent legal and
governmental bodies, including the public health bodies of the United States when implementing
vaccine programmes, must align themselves in order to have any legitimate authority whatsoever
in the first place.
All the articles and amendments, laws and statutes must be read in conjunction with the
constitution’s Preamble, which sets forth a normative structure in which the „general welfare“,
„justice“, „liberty“ and domestic democracy have an inseparable relationship for „Posterity“. The
Preamble’s normative meaning is given tangible form by the provisions in the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights.
The Preamble, Constitution and Law or Code or Statues are inextricably and logically connected.
The Preamble is the authority for the Constitution. For anything to have Force and Effect it must
have authority. Rules are similar to Regulations, which is how the Law or Code or Statutes are
interpreted and enforced. The Code is the Authority for the Rules. The Constitution is the
Authority for the Code. The Preamble is the Authority for the Constitution. That means that the
Preamble is the ultimate authority for the Constitution, the Code, the Rules or Statutes.
The Preamble can never, not in for Posterity, under any circumstances be detached from the
Constitution and the government and its agencies cannot ever be detached from the Constitution
and Preamble. This is because the causality between the Preamble, Constitution and Rules
involves a logical and not a contingent necessity.
The philosopher David Hume in his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–1740) showed that the
only necessity that links cause and effect is the logical necessity of a demonstrative argument.
By contrast, when a sequence of events is observed in the physical world that is considered
causal -- for example, an apple falling down from a tree onto the ground -- these are only
impressions of the apple, its motion and its collision, but there is no logical necessity by which
the cause brings about the effect. There might be an occasion when the apple does not fall
downwards but upwards. We have observed apples falling to the ground every single time but
there is no logical necessity for them to fall to the ground every single time.
There is, however, a logical necessity that two plus two always equals four and that logical
necessity resides in the ideas of two and two and in the idea of addition of numbers.
Two plus two can never logically equal three.
Hume established that there was no argument for linking causes and effects in terms of powers,
active forces, and so on but that the only causal necessity was a logical one such as found
inherent in the concepts of mathematics and language.
Because the Preamble, Constitution and Bill of Rights are artefacts of language and the words
have logical relationships between each other that involve the idea of a necessary connection, the
causal links between them cannot logically be broken apart.
The Preamble, Constitution and Bill of Rights have the same logical relationship between them
as two plus two plus two equals six.
A whole can be divided into various parts just as an apple pie can be divided into slices. The
Preamble, Constitution and Bill of Rights form one whole but can also be divided into parts for
the sake of ease of use by persons seeking to apply the law to specific and concrete
circumstances. Nevertheless, the meaning of any law is not contained in one isolated word or
