章節(jié)摘錄

　　In the world， every country has its own constitutional law， nomatter what it is， written or unwritten.　GeneraliZe speaking， in acountrys legal system， its constitutional law is the fundamental law，which has supreme legal authority and， in legal form， defines thebasic system and basic tasks of the country. Here is about the Constitution which is the fundamental law of the U. S. federal system ofgovernment and a landmark document of the Western world. It is theoldest written national constitution in operation， completed in 1787 atthe Constitutional Convention1 of 55 delegates who met in Philaflelphia2 ， ostensibly to amend the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was ratified in June 1788， but because， ratification in manystates was contingent on the promised addition of a Bill of Rights ，Congress4 proposed 12 amendments in September 1789; 10 were ratified by the states， and their adoption was certified on Dec. 15， 1791.The framers were especially concerned with limitiag the power of thegovernment and securing the liberty of citizens. The Constitutionsseparation of the legislative， executive and judicial branches of government， the checks and balances of each branch against the other，and the explicit guarantees of individual liberty were all designed tostrike a balance between authority and liberty.
