What is it about?
The United States Constitution, adopted in 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, is the document that establishes the nation's fundamental laws. Its content defines the form of the national government, the goals it pursues, and the methods for achieving them, all under the famous preamble "We the People." The work is structured into a preamble, seven articles, and twenty-seven amendments. The original articles create a federal system based on the division of powers between three independent branches: the executive (Presidency), the legislative (Congress), and the judicial (Courts). The amendments, added subsequently, include the Bill of Rights and other provisions that have adapted the text to social and political changes. This document replaced the Articles of Confederation, which lacked the authority to unify the states' actions, and established a central government with the capacity to resolve national problems collectively.
