The 7 Articles of The Constitution
The 7 Articles go over the abilities and restrictions of America's government. They also give a strong foundation for America's government, like establishing the functions of Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch. These articles also give guidelines on how government should be run.
The 7 Articles:
1. The Legislative Branch - Congress has ability to make laws, and states that there are two houses of Congress; House of Representatives and Senate
2. The Executive Branch - The President or Vice President and the departments under them have the ability to carry out the laws
3. The Judicial Branch - The Supreme Court has the ability to decide if the laws are unconstitutional or constitutional and decide criminal and civil court cases based on the law
4. The States' Powers - States must respect other states and states can create their own laws
5. The Amendment Process - The Constitution is a "Living Document" and can be changed or amended by a two-thirds vote of Congress and a three-fourths vote of the states
6. Federal Powers - The constitution is the "Law of The Land" and can override any law created if decided not constitutional
