The U.S. Constitution is the backbone of the criminal justice system. Most importantly it establishes the burden of proof/presumption of innocence in criminal trials and estabishes the right to a fair trial, a trial by jury of your peers, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures (which means the government can not use evidence illegally obtained against a defendant in court), it also establishes the right to due process which means the government cannot take away your rights without notice and a hearing.
