What does the Constitution do?

• A. Creates the United Nations
• B. Sets up the government
• C. Writes the laws of every state
• D. Declares war

Answer: (B)

The Constitution establishes how the U.S. government is organized and operates. It creates three branches with defined powers, sets up how they check and balance each other, and defines the relationship between the federal government and the states, while protecting basic rights. That framework is precisely what the Constitution does, so it’s the best answer. The other options don’t fit: the United Nations is an international body created by treaties, not by the Constitution; states write their own laws under their own constitutions; and while Congress has the power to declare war, the Constitution itself provides the framework for government rather than declaring war.
