In an initial paragraph of his “State of the Union Address,” delivered to Congress January 25, 1988, President Reagan made reference to the opening phrase of the Constitution in order to articulate once again his conservative political philosophy. “We, the people” — if for others the phrase might point to a public sphere, a populist collective, the agent of history as progress, or the founding principle of democracy, it takes on a very different significance in the presidential gloss. The sentence in the original document defined the project which “we, the people” undertook: to form a more perfect union and to pursue a wide range of goals and substantive values — justice, common defense, welfare, and domestic tranquility.
