The Preamble isn’t part of the instrument. Learn to read.

That's like saying that the foundation isn't part of the building.

Of course it's part of the instrument. It's the first part, the part that states why the document even exists.

The preamble is assuredly part of the instrument. We know this because the preamble was ratified.
