Course Objectives

The material in this program of study is designed to provide you with an understanding of the Constitution of the United States. While nearly all countries of the world have constitutions, not all have constitutional govern­ments. A constitutional government is one in which a constitution clearly places recognized and widely accepted limits on the powers of the people who govern. Constitutional government is one of limited government and rule of law. The United States, Canada and Great Britain have constitutional forms of government where the rule of law applies. Many countries, such as Communist China, also have constitutions, but they do not have constitutional governments. Governments in these countries are not limited by their constitutions.
