The U.S. Constitution is a document which informs every part of the legal system in the
United States of America; as such, its interpretation can be seen as one of the most basic fields of law. Because
all subsequent laws must be in agreement with the principles and intentions of the Constitution – unless a
specific amendment is made - the interpretation of this short document offers the opportunity for scholars and
lawyers to cast their light over the intentions of the Founding Fathers. Constitutional law is looked to for
explanations and arguments when new laws are regarded as infringing on protected rights. At the Federal level,
Constitutional Law forms the basis of the writing of new legislation, the hearing of cases by the Supreme Court,
and the ways politicians try to manipulate their voters. Books and law school courses on the topic abound, and can
offer tremendous insight into this field.
