You should know about the constitution because:

For over two hundred years, the Constitution of the United States has served as the foundation for U.S. government.

U.S. Constitution is "the supreme Law of the Land."

It also contains the oath that the president must take before entering the office, which explicitly requires that the president support the Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
