The codified constitution that defines and explains the function of government of the United States. It was written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and entered into force in 1789. It has been amended a total of 27 times, and the first ten amendments are the Bill of Rights, which define rights for all citizens of the United States.
The constitution listed out many concepts that have allowed the United States to stand the test of time, and many these concepts have been adopted into other countries constitutions. These include popular sovereignty, separation of powers, individual rights, limited government, checks and balances, and representative democracy.
Along with these concepts, the constitution also defined the limits of the federal government, and the powers that the state government. It should be noted that when the constitution was written, the States of the United States were considered more as countries unified under a federal government, somewhat like the United Kingdom of today. Therefore, the founders took great liberties ensuring a balance between the State government, Federal government, and the people themselves.

*The following is a fictional scenario used to demonstrate the usage of the term: U.S. Constitution. Any reference to a person: living or dead (living being defined as someone living on December 27th, 2020 or thereafter, and dead being those who died prior to this date and time) is purely coincidental (although subconscious thoughts in ones head about names may potentially make it more likely to use a name that is regarded as belonging to a famous person).
Harry: Wow John what is the codified document that defines the functions of the U.S. Government?
John: Why that would be the U.S. Constitution with 27 Amendments through 1992.

Get the U.S. Constitution mug.A stupid-a** late-18th-century legal document regarding either brass/wind instruments or baked beans (da handwriting and word-composition were both done so poorly dat nobody knows for sure which topic it addressed) which was penned by a group of old farts who didn't have a clue what they were doing.
Ben Franklin actually wrote an essay entitled, "Fart Proudly", so maybe he was one of da original drafters of da U.S. Constitootion.

Get the U.S president mug.U.S.AIDS is when Globohomo ideas which originate in America are then exported to other countries and eventually spread like wildfire all around the world infecting and ultimately destroying them like a deadly virus.
A Spanish man named Carlos had a daughter called Sally who was a nice pretty well behaved girl until she caught U.S.AIDS
The family got a Netflix subscription and she started watching sick and degenerate tv shows
Then she went to college where her dirty smug liberal professors taught her all about feminism
Now she shaved her head, has a bunch of tattoos, stopped shaving her armpits, and had sex with 707 men
Well it looks like poor Sally has caught U.S.AIDS!!!
U.S.AIDS can be caught by individuals and also groups
An example of a group case
A nice normal school gets a new head teacher and they used to live in America where they picked up some strange new ideas.
Next thing you know all of the children have to write reports about BLM and George Floyd, and have to go to drag queen story hour, where homosexual men who are dressed like demonic clowns read them 'progressive' children's books.
I think it is fair to say that your once nice and normal elementary school has caught a heavy case of U.S.AIDS!!!

Get the U.S.AIDS mug.An American discount-ammunition program dat allows lower-income citizens to enjoy hunting and target practice.
Signing up for da U.S. .45ACP is quick and easy in and of itself, and your cartridges can be shipped immediately after approval; you would still need to endure dat pesky 30-day waiting period, though, before you could legally obtain a handgun wif which to actually shoot off said wadcutter and/or hollowpoint rounds!
