The constitution sets down how the US government will work. It does, in a manner of speaking 'control' the government, for it has all the laws, but it is more the base for the government, since it can be amended. It isn't the government itself.
There are many ways of thinking about the constitution--a base, a way to control something, etc. In my opinion, there is no real 'controller' of the US government, since it was set up just because of that; to make sure that there is equal balance between all branches. The closest thing to a controller is the president--but he is more of a leader than that.
Hope this helps!

The government in the US is ruled by the US Constitution. It is divided into 3 divisions (3 articles).
