U.S. Const., Preamble:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The Preamble ("that which walks before") to the U.S. Constitution described who (the People of the United States) were promulgating the United States Constitution, and why. To provide for the "common defence" was one of the reasons--pertaining to military cooperation among the States and the establishing States' delegation of certain military affairs to the federal government.
Britain and its monarch remained a military enemy of the new United States, as was proven by and with the outbreak of the War of 1812.

What dose provide for the common defense mean?
"To provide for the common defense" is a simple but meaningful phrase in the US constitution. It signifies one of the main reasons that the individual states are bonding together into a union: to provide an effective military force to protect all of the states together (as divergent to each state fielding its own military to protect itself separately). This means that the government will provide all of the necessary things for the nation's defense. Such as: Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, etc. to protect the Americans from foreign enemies. I understand the phrase, "to provide for the common defense", to mean that the government will guarantee protection to the states, territories, and to all of the citizens/residents thereof in the event of conflict with any foreign nation.
