Speech by Barbara Jordan (D-Texas), Member of the House Judiciary Committee. Mr. Chairman: I join in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. Mr. Chairman, you are a strong man and it has not been easy, but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible. Earlier today, we heard the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States, "We, the people." It is a very eloquent beginning. But when the document was completed on the seventeenth of September, 1787, I was not included in that "We, the people."I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment interpretation and court decision I have finally been included in 'We, the people." Today, I am an inquisitor, I believe hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution. 3 Select the correct answer. What was the purpose of Barbara Jordan's speech?
A. to explain a problem with the wording of the Constitution
B. to show that Congress was at work
C. to explain the reason for an inquiry
D. to thank members of the committee for being allowed to speak​
