The defining document of American Democracy. Writen and signed September of 1787 it influenced American power and it's way of life. Created to replace the Articles of Confederation which were weak and didnt have any real power, it gave the federal and states equal powers as to help balance the sharing of power. The US Constitution seperated the government into 3 branches.
Judical
Legislative
Executive
As to give equal power or a system of "Checks and Balances" so no 1 branch would become more powerful than the other. It has become a symbol of American democrazy and power and has even influenced other countries constitutions for more than 200 years.

Slang for toilet paper
President, Judge, Congressman or Senator: Hey, I have to take a dump. Is there any US Constitution left, so I can wipe my ass when I'm done?

1) An obsolete document printed in the 1700's on hemp paper, establishing a new democracy and forming the basis for our current government. Well written piece but the Homeland Security Act has rendered it ineffective for protecting US citizens from illegal searches and seizures by our own police and military, under the guise of terrorist hunting.
Your property may be entered, searched and items removed without a warrant to do so, no notice the authorities were there or any written inventory of any items they may have taken.
