Constitutional Law

The Constitution that most of us are familiar with is the U.S. Constitution. In addition to the U.S. Constitution, all fifty states have their own state constitutions. To some extent, these are modeled after the U.S. Constitution-but may vary from it. The state constitutions may give the people of that state greater rights than the U.S. Constitution bestows upon them, but it cannot restrict the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution in that respect is supreme, but more importantly, the U.S. Constitution sets minimum standards that must be complied with by all governmental officers in dealing with the people. The U.S. Constitution is divided into seven articles and twenty-seven amendments. The Constitution begins with the words- We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
