The Constitution is important for a great number of reasons, primarily because it was the document that founded our government, it was the basis of what would form the United States, and amazingly because it was so well crafted that here we are over 200 years later and we are still using the exact same document to run our country.

It is important because it outlines all of our rights as citizens. It gives a complete list of all the things that we can do, and the rights that we have.

The Constitution, and its amendments protects us from each other, and it protects us from our own government. It protects us from wrongful prosecution, incriminating ourselves, and assures our right to speech, our right to bear arms, and our right to freedom of religion.

Not only does it provide the foundation for government, the structure for the union and the checks and balances that provide sustainability, but the Bill of Rights provides significant and powerful protections under law for the citizens it covers.

Because it is the fundamental law of a nation, that is, it contains all the laws which determine the nation's political and administrative system, and all the rights, duties and responsibilities of the citizens according to which people in the country should live. The constitution identifies the name, the language, the anthem, the national symbols of a nation as well. And there is often a credo in the preface.
