Question

what was one purpose of the preamble of the bill of rights?
to express the desire to restrict government power.
to limit the power of the states.
to guarantee rights of the people.
to ensure government had unlimited power.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights aims to safeguard people's rights. The preamble sets the tone for protecting individual liberties, not restricting states' power or giving the government unlimited power. Expressing a desire to restrict government power is more of a function of the amendments themselves rather than the preamble's main purpose.

Answer:

To guarantee rights of the people.
