The Constitution Explained!

The U.S. Constitution is the backbone of the nation.
This written document details how the American government works as well as the
powers that each branch wields. The oldest written constitution still in use,
the Constitution has only been amended 27 times since 1789, with the Bill of
Rights and other amendments that further define the liberties of American
citizens. This essential set defines and presents the Constitution in

foundation.
