These three documents, (Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights) known collectively as the Charters of Freedom , have secured the rights of the American people for more than two and a quarter centuries and are considered instrumental to the founding and philosophy of the United States.

The Constitution

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens.

“To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilegethat was ever accorded to the human race” – Calvin Coolidge
