The Constitution was approved by the delegates in 1787 and, by 1788, had been fully ratified. The Constitution formed the framework for a new system of government with limitations on the power of the elected and a promise of freedoms to the People. The founding fathers took great pains to use plain language without technical terms or legal ambiguities. They constructed a document which is clear on its face. Although various Amendments were added at later dates, the basic framework for our government remains in place--inviolable.
If you haven't read the Constitution--you should. If you don't know your rights, you cannot demand protection of them or know when they are being violated.
