The Constitution of the United States comprises the primary law of the
U.S. Federal Government. It also describes the three chief branches of
the Federal Government and their jurisdictions. In addition, it lays out
the basic rights of citizens of the United States. The Constitution of
the United States is the oldest Federal constitution in existence and
was framed by a convention of delegates from twelve of the thirteen original
states in Philadelphia in May 1787. The Constitution is the landmark legal
document of the United States. Files are available in ASCII text and Adobe
