Category: American Government
The Constitution sets up the government, defines the government, and protects basic rights of Americans. You only need to give one answer.
Written in 1787, the Constitution created the framework for the entire U.S. government — three branches with separate powers, a system of checks and balances, and the Bill of Rights to protect individual freedoms.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Every other law must comply with it, and it can only be changed through the amendment process.
Pick one: 'Sets up the government' or 'protects basic rights of Americans.'
