As you prepare for the upcoming history quiz, it's crucial to focus on the structure and content of the Constitution. Remember to formulate your answers using proper paragraph structure: start with a topic sentence, followed by detailed explanations, and conclude effectively. Avoid using the first person, maintaining a professional tone.

Understanding the Preamble is essential for grasping the document's purpose.
