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.



Yeah, it is and was an extraordinary document.  But it's only as good as the people who interpret it.  Want to know the real power in the land?  Money!  And you can be sure that if the money is green enough, the constitution will fly out the window....
