The Preamble to the Constitution

[Freddyburg Hokie]

I'm not quite convinced that the diagram of "to ourselves and our posterity" is correct. I think that that phrase is modifying the verb "secure", and not the object "blessings", and thus should branch off from the verb "secure".

However, I missed the whole "of the United States of America" in modifying "We the people", because I diagrammed this on my whiteboard from the Schoolhouse Rock song, which omitted that phrase.

Thoughts?



P.S. I think it's interesting to see, on a website discussing a particular aspect of grammar, the usage of "insure" instead of "ensure". Haha, dumbasses! =^)
