About this Quiz

The U.S. Constitution is a historical document that serves as the supreme law of the United States. It was drafted by a group of men known as the 'Founding Fathers', including James Madison, who is often referred to as the 'Father of the Constitution'. The Constitution was ratified in 1787, following the Shays' Rebellion, which exposed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, America's first constitution. The Constitution established a new system of government, with a separation of powers among three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. Since its ratification, the Constitution has been amended 27 times, with the first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights. These amendments were designed to protect individual liberties against federal infringement. The Constitution continues to guide the nation's laws and policies, and understanding its history and content is crucial for every American citizen.
