|The CSA preamble removes the idealist goal of creating a "more perfect union", and replaces it with text simply establishing a federal government. The CSA preamble also strikes references to collectivism such as "common defense" and the unspecific "general welfare" clause. The CSA does make the effort to specifically invoke God, thus arguably founding the CSA as a Christian nation. | |The CSA preamble removes the idealist goal of creating a "more perfect union", and replaces it with text simply establishing a federal government.
