Constitution

La Constitución de los EEUU, escrita después de que el país se independizara de Gran Bretaña, fue ratificada en 1789 por representantes de cada una de las trece ex colonias (thirteen Colonies) que conformaban los Estados Unidos, incluidos algunos de los padres de la nación (→ Founding Fathers - The Founding Fathers). La Constitución estableció los tres poderes de gobierno, el legislativo (→ Congress), el judicial (→ Supreme Court), y el ejecutivo (→ President). La separación de poderes fue ideada a fin de evitar que cualquiera adquiriera demasiada autoridad. El texto básico de la Constitución nunca ha cambiado, pero desde 1789 se le han hecho 27 enmiendas. Las primeras diez enmiendas se conocen como the Bill of Rights.
