It's "ensure," not "insure."

Who knew the clue because of Schoolhouse Rock back in the day?
wolfygal
RushMama2112, I learned it in 8th grade and remember it all. That was 1963.
Mel
THE FIRST THING I LEARNED IN MY LAW CLASS WAS THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE PREAMBLE. ALSO THE AMENDMENTS BY HEART.
Bigkev
wolfygal, me too, even in 1983!

I had to memorize this, and pass a fairly thorough test on the Constitution, as well as do a 15 page research paper just to graduate 8th grade!, my how far we've fallen in the U. S., unless we get back to having a border and real education, it's game over!

DJH
I taught my three children this. All grown up now, and can still recite this.
Brandy
Had to memorize this in 5th grade.
Eva
wolfygal, I learned it in 4th grade because my 8th grader sister walked around the house repeating it and it stuck till this day!! I’m 58

I know the whole thing from watching Schoolhouse Rock as a kid 50 years ago.

Schoolhouse Rock *yay* brings back so many memories! Sad, I doubt my grandkids have a clue about any of this- neither from a cartoon nor from school.

Ruby, I no longer have the source option. I used to like using it.

Minkagal #28125873, no it is not. The text refers to the additional definition of insure, which is “secure or protect someone against (a possible contingency)”.

More perfect? If it was perfect to begin with how does one improve on perfection? Just something to think about.
