WHAT is IT TO US

More important than what the
Constitution is, comes the lesson as
Ito WHAT IT is TO US. 1t is the
highest law of the land 1t is the
one supreme authority on all gov

deals. Below it in authority is the
federal statutes and treaties. Be
low these comes the Constitution

is the State Statutes. Fifth comes

comes the Common Unwritten

CONSTITUTION OF THE U. s

The Constitution of the U. S. is
the superstructurc of our National
greatness. BY 1t our government
is divided into three departments
the Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial. The Executive depart
ment is composed Of the President
and his Cabinet. 1t is the duty of
this department to enforce the
laws of the land. The Legislative
department is composed Of the
Senate and House of Representa-
Itives. This department makes our
federal laws. The judicial depart
Iment is composed of the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the
~. S. and his Associate Justices,
and it is the duty of this branch Of
our government to explain the
laws. Here is trinity of powers
