The Constitution is about law, not feelings.

You might want to reread the preamble.

The preamble is a statement of the intent of the people ordaining the Constitution.

None of the enunciated purposes is emotional.

They are:

(1) To form a Union more effective than the one provided by the preceding Articles Of Confederation.

(2) Establish a uniform system of justice.

(3) Put an end to conflicts between one state and its fellow state.

(4) Create an effective military defense.

(5) Promote prosperity.

(6) Ensure that basic rights are guaranteed now and in future.

Nothing in there about feeling loved.
