We have a federal system and in that system the constitution is the law of the land. Without this each state would be an individual place and we would not be the "united" states. Before the constitution was written the Articles of Confederation tried to be independent from a central government and it didn't work. People working together as a unit can get more done, live better, and have a better life.
