Question 001

What is the supreme law of the land?



What is the supreme law of the land?  The constitution, created in 1787.  It's the oldest written constitution in the world, and still very much alive and debated.



The constitution establishes the system of government of the United States.  It ensures our basic freedoms.  It distributes powers of government between the states and the federal government.  It establishes checks and  balances between the branches of government.  It's an extraordinary document.
