The United States Constitution "The United States Constitution" by United States is a historically significant document written in the late 18th century. It is not only a foundational legal text but also serves as a framework for America's governance, outlining the structure and powers of government and establishing the rights of citizens. The book centers on key topics such as federalism, the separation of powers, and the checks and balances that are integral to American democracy. The Constitution is organized into several articles, each detailing specific aspects of government operation. It begins with a preamble that states the purpose of the document— to create a more unified and just society. It addresses the legislative branch in Article I, delineating the powers and responsibilities of Congress, followed by the executive branch in Article II, which defines the presidency's powers. Article III establishes the judiciary, creating a system of federal courts. The Constitution also includes provisions for states' relations and describes the process for amendments, ensuring adaptability over time. Ultimately, this document not only serves as a blueprint for political structure but also embodies the principles of democracy and rule of law that continue to govern the United States today.
