1The Constitution of the United States is important because It expresses a profound idea about liberty. This notion is that "We the People"
own the government. We create the laws and elect ordinary citizens to help enforce them. The government should never be more powerful

governments were headed by monarchs or other rulers who made their own laws. The people of these countries had little or no say in

The U. S. Constitution, however, grants all citizens the right to enjoy the blessings of liberty" and places the governing of the country in the
hands of its people. It provides safeguards that prevent the government from seizing too much power. This is why the Constitution is one of
the greatest documents in history,
