Step-by-step explanation:

The Founding Fathers of the United States drafted the constitution in 1787. The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, a Constitution that has lasted longer than in any other country. It establishes the basic principles of the United States government. The Constitution establishes a system of government called "representative democracy" in which citizens elect representatives to make laws.

US citizens are also responsible for electing a president to lead the executive power that is personalized in the government. The Constitution lists the fundamental rights for all American citizens and for other people living in the United States. Laws enacted in the United States must respect the Constitution.

The Constitution of the United States divides the power of the government between the national government and the state governments, this is called "federalism".

The Constitution also includes changes and additions, called amendments. The first 10 amendments are called the “Bill of Rights”. The Bill of Rights establishes the individual rights and freedoms of all Americans.
