Obviously, the United States is an influential country, but beyond that, many of the countries out there’s 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 going to 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 want to understand the government that you live in, or you're just a curious mind wanting to understand how a government can be structured.
