We the readers vs We, the readers

Both "we the readers" and "we, the readers" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "We the readers" is used when referring to a collective group of readers without any additional punctuation. On the other hand, "we, the readers" is used when addressing the readers directly and using a comma to set off the appositive phrase "the readers."
