Answer:
The Constitution of the United States, approved in 1787 by the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, is the supreme law of the United States, which defines the political organization of the nation, the structure of the federal government and, based on its amendments, the individual rights of its citizens.
This Constitution originally consisted of 7 articles of a programmatic nature, which define the roles and structure of the government. In addition, 27 amendments were subsequently added, guaranteeing certain civil rights to American citizens. An important role is held by the first 10 amendments, which form a normative body called the Bill of Rights, with the fundamental civil rights of Americans.
