is a crucial document to understand

if you're a United States citizen.

And, frankly, for almost anyone on the planet,

obviously the United States is an influential country,

but beyond that, many of the countries out there

constitutions are actually based

on the United States Constitution.

So in these lessons we're going to dive deep.

We're actually going to read the Constitution.

And, as you'll see, we will read alongside

some of the top experts of the United States Constitution

in the world.

But we'll do it in a way that you'll realize

that you too can be something of an expert

on the United States Constitution.

We're gonna go through all of the various articles

and sections of the Constitution.

And you'll find that it's an intriguing document

that has incredible relevance, even today.

We're also going to talk about how the judicial system,

in particular the Supreme Court,

has interpreted the United States Constitution

and how that has had a whole chain of side effects

on our everyday lives.

And last but not least,

we're going to talk about what rights and liberties

are protected by the Bill of Rights

inside of the United States Constitution.

So let's go on this journey together.

Whether you live in the United States

and really just wanna understand

the government that you live in

or you're just a curious mind wanting to understand

how a government can be structured,

these lessons will answer your questions.
