Summary
Constitutional law is the study of the laws and principles that govern the structure and operation of a country's government. It covers the relationship between the central government and the states, the powers of different branches of government, and the rights of citizens.
Federal Government Structure
A federal form of government is a partnership between the states and the central government. The commerce clause and the supremacy clause define the powers of Congress and the states.
Checks and Balances
The system of checks and balances prevents any one branch of government from exercising too much power. The commerce clause and the dormant commerce clause regulate commerce.
Bill of Rights and Amendments
The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. The Fourteenth Amendment has been interpreted to apply most of the Bill of Rights to state governments.
