Lady Justice or Justitia was part of Roman mythology and was one of the four virtues. She was shown as holding a scale and sword; depicting them as the evidence must be weighed on its own merit, and the sword depicts that punishment can be final and harsh. She also wears a blindfold to signify that justice must be served despite whatever status or wealth a person has.

This relates to the "Establish Justice" line as we have court and jury systems. To "Form a more perfect Union" the nation has established a monetary system and postal network"
