THE CONSTITUTION/

After the American Revolution,/

the thirteen states/

had a loose and temporary government./

The thirteen states/

needed a strong federal government/

to unite them./

In 1787,/

each state sent representatives/

to a convention./

The representatives/

made a new plan of government/

called the Constitution./

Many heroes of the Revolution,/

like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin,/

helped write it./

The Constitution became law in 1788./

The American Constitution/

is based on certain beliefs./

One belief is that/

the people of a country/

should have the power/

to make their own laws./

Another belief is that/

the government and religion/

should be separated./

Another belief is that/

each state has its rights./

But the federal government/

is the highest law of all./

The writers of the Constitution/

had to compromise./

Many people felt/

that the federal government/

needed to be very strong./

So the federal government/

united the states into one country./

The federal government/

was given the authority/

to print money,/

organize the post office,/

control the armed forces,/

and direct trade between the states./

And only the federal government/

could declare war./

But other peoplewere afraid/

that the federal government/

might be given too much power./

So the writers of the Constitution/

split the federal government/

into three branches./

That way, one branch/

could keep the other two branches/

from becoming too powerful./

The Constitution set up a plan of government/

that still works today./

It works/

because it was written to allow additions or amendments./

But all laws/

must fit into the Constitution's main plan./

The Constitution has a preamble,/

seven articles, and twenty-six amendments./

The first three articles of the Constitution/

give certain powers to Congress,/

certain powers to the President,/

and certain powers to the courts./

Article four is about states' rights./

Article five tells how to make changes/

in the Constitution./

Then Article six/

makes the Constitution and the federal laws/

more powerful than any state laws./

The last article declares/

that the Constitution became law/

when nine states accepted it./

The first ten amendments/

are called the Bill of Rights./

The Bill of Rights/

limits the powers of the federal government./

It gives certain rights to the states/

and certain rights to the people./

The Constitution is based on majority rule./

But the rights of the people/

who disagree with the majority/

are also protected./

Some of the amendments/

in the Bill of Rights/

gave people rights/

that we now take for granted./

For example, we take for granted/

that we have the right/

to fair trial by jury./

The meaning of some of the other amendments/

is still being discussed today./

For example, the First Amendment/

allows freedom of the press./

Some people believe/

that this includes freedom from censorship of any kind,/

but other people disagree./

Two hundred years later,/

the Constitution is still a useful plan of government./

It protects the rights of the individual./

And at the same time,/

it provides a strong central government./
