According to the preamble, what fundamental purpose did the convention that framed the Wyoming Constitution seek to secure?

• A. Economic prosperity for all
• B. Civil, political, and religious liberty
• C. National defense and security
• D. Uniform education standards

Answer: (B)

The main idea this question tests is what the convention that framed the Wyoming Constitution aimed to protect for the people. The preamble emphasizes securing civil liberty, political liberty, and religious liberty—a broad safeguard of individual rights against government power. That focus on personal freedoms in all three realms—conscience and worship, participation in governance, and protection from oppression—is why this option is the best fit.

Economic prosperity, national defense, and uniform education standards are important goals for a state, but they aren’t what the preamble singles out as the fundamental aim of the framing convention.
