What does the US Constitution do?

  1. Outlines basic rights

  2. Sets up the federal government

  3. Establishes the court system

  4. Defines state laws

The correct answer is: Sets up the federal government

The US Constitution serves as the supreme law of the country, establishing the framework and structure for the federal government. It outlines the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of government, including the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. Option A is incorrect because while the Constitution does include the Bill of Rights, its main purpose is not specifically for outlining basic rights. Option C is incorrect because while the Constitution does establish the court system, this is not its primary purpose. And Option D is incorrect because the Constitution serves as the supreme law of the land and does not solely define state laws.
