The Constitution of the United States
is the cornerstone of our American government. In 4,543 words this document
describes the structure of the government and the rights of the American
people. No law may be passed that contradicts its principles and no person,
or the government, is exempt from following it. This is why it is commonly
called the "supreme law of the land".
