The US Constitution is a basic framework for a federal government with three parts: a legislature, an executive and a judiciary, each of which balance and check the excessive use of power by the other branches.

Establishing a government that is subservient to the people, and is structured with checks and balances to prevent any individual or group from gaining too much power and the ability to abuse it.
Or, you can just go with the preamble, they did a pretty good job of it:
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The Constitution was drafted as to secure the basics of the government, and the first 10 amendments were added to secure the people's most basic rights.

Basically, the Constitution is the legal basis for our government. It spells out the powers and responsibilities given to each branch of government, protects the rights of the people, and protects the rights of states to govern themselves.
