  10. Question? • 1. What does the statement from the Russian constitution “multinational people…united by a common destiny” mean? • 2. What do you think it means to “promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty”? Have we heard that before?? • 3. In what ways do racist or extreme policies affect countries and bring harm to people? • 4. Compare the preambles we read. How are they similar or different?
