Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a document that spells out how the governed (those being ruled) will have rights that should not be taken away by those doing the governing.

The American Constitution concerns itself with the rights of those being governed with the checks and balances that keeps the government from becoming a dictatorship.
