The United States Constitution consists several significant parts, one of which is the Bill of Rights. These were the ten original amendments that were ratified with the entire constitution. They guarantee specific rights of all citizens.
The other major part of the US Constitution explains the three separate branches of the Federal government and how they interact with each other. The very important section of the Constitution states that all powers not given to the Federal government are issues left to the States to decide. One example of this concerns criminal acts within each state.
