1.03 The constitution

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.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
