Final Jeopardy! clue: Its preamble substituted the words “A permanent federal government” for “a more perfect union”
What is the Constitution of the Confederate States?
Victor 5200 – 0 = 5200 (What is the Gettysburg Address?)
Katrina 15400 – 5000 = 10400 (What is the U.S. Constitution?)
Gordon 20200 + 4500 = 24700
Here’s the full text; the preamble is below:
We, the people of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent federal government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of America.
