The U.S Constitution provides the guidelines for the powers of the federal government and it creates different branches of government and determines the relative power of each. It also sets up the Constitution as being the supreme law of the land.

It is based on the principle of federalism, where power is shared between the federal government and state governments. A theoretical pillar of the United States Constitution is the idea of checks and balances between the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of American government.The three branches—legislative, executive, and judicial— compete with each other through certain powers that allow them to “check” the others and “balance” the government.
