  • Answer:

True

  • Explanation:

The American Constitution is a document that governs all the legal and administrative organization of the country, through the creation of the three powers, the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. Thus, the Constitution delegates to each of these powers a different purpose, but which together give the country an institutionality necessary to maintain order and full functioning.

The Constitution delegates to the legislature the task of creating laws. To the judiciary, the Constitution delegates the task of executing laws and ensuring order. To the Executive, the Constitution delegates the task of implementing public policies.
