The U.S. Constitution is the nation’s foundational legal framework, establishing a federal government divided into legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each with defined powers and a system of checks and balances to prevent dominance by any one branch. It outlines the relationship between states and the federal government, sets procedures for amendments and ratification, and affirms the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. The first ten amendments—the Bill of Rights—and subsequent amendments protect individual liberties, define citizenship, expand voting rights, and refine governmental processes.
