Constitution

The video explores the history and government of the United States, focusing on the Constitution. It begins with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which declared the colonies' desire for freedom from British rule. The Articles of Confederation, the first attempt at a national government, were created in 1777 but proved insufficient. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held to draft a new governing document, resulting in the Constitution. The Constitution outlines the structure of the federal government and remains the supreme law of the land.
