Preamblism Question on Current Issues

With all that's going on in the world and the country, I return to the purpose of our government as stated in the Preamble to the Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." And I like to pair that with the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence which includes: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." I think we should try to achieve the values of these two preambles when it comes to all issues including ones that are particularly concerning to me today: foreign affairs, domestic gun violence, and extremist partisanship dominating both our major political parties. I would like to hear how you think we could apply the preambles to these issues?
