The US Constitution

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, established in 1787. It outlines the framework of government, dividing power among three branches: legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (courts). It ensures checks and balances so that no branch becomes too powerful. The Constitution also includes the Bill of Rights, which protects individual freedoms and rights. It serves as a lasting foundation for American democracy, guiding the country's laws and governance, and can be amended to address changing societal needs.
