US Constitution

This resource provides an insightful overview of the U.S. Constitution, detailing its three main branches: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Learn how the bicameral legislature makes laws, the Executive enforces them, and the Judiciary interprets them. Explore the Constitution's amendments, including the Bill of Rights, and its framework of federalism, which divides powers between national and state governments. Understand how the Constitution is a "living document," adaptable through amendments, and discover the unwritten customs that shape U.S. governance.
