Chapt.5; Civic Virtue Essay

These sets of words pretty much all mean the same thing; they're synonyms.
Which pair is found in the Preamble to the Constitution? What do these phrases really mean? 

Why is it important to our communities? Why is it important for democracy to work?
How can we cultivate a concern for and dedication in citizens to this concept?

Here's an A+ answer (I'll protect the student's anonymity so that their peers won't tease them)

The words General Welfare are found in the Preamble to the Constitution. These words basically mean that it’s for the good of the entire community, or it it benefits everyone. In my opinion there is one word that has to do with everyone of these and that word is good. It is important to our community because it smoothes out the rough edges and brings us closer together because they benefit EVERYONE. Well it’s important for a democracy to work because the power comes from the people and there is just a representative of the people. So, if those people do not have equal rights and opportunities I wouldn't call it a democracy. We can cultivate a concern and dedication in citizens to this concept by sharing information and just plain knowing about it. One way is we can broadcast it over social media because that is where most people are now a days anyway, and sharing it in a somewhat fun way may interest people more . From that interest a concern may come about that and if that concern is shared by the time you realize more and more people with have more of a feeling towards this.
