The U.S. Constitution is the central instrument of government and the "supreme law of the land". It is the oldest written Constitution in the world that is in force. It was written in 1787 in Philadelphia by the Continental Congress of the new American republic and was officially adopted in 1789. The objective of the writers was to outline the structure of a new, strong central government after the years of weakness and chaos resulting from the preexisting "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" which loosely bound the colonies together since 1778.

The U S Constitution outlines the structure and powers of the 3 branches of government (executive, legislative, judicial) and the 3 levels of government (federal, state, local). The basic principles of the Constitution are the same today as when it was written:

1 --the 3 branches of government (executive, legislative, judicial) are separate and each is checked and balanced off by the power of the other two,

2 --the U S Constitution is supreme,

3 -all persons are equal before the law, as are all states and each state must be democratic and respect the law of others,

4 --the people can change the U S Constitution by the methods outlined within it.

Amendment of the U S Constitution may be initiated by a 2/3 vote in each chamber of congress, or 2/3 of the states calling for a national convention. In either case a vote of 3/4 of the states is required to actually make an amendment. The interpretation of the Constitution has changed over time without amendment by various pieces of legislation and judicial decisions.

The U S Constitution has had 27 amendments. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, were adopted in 1791 in order to meet demands for the signature of Massachusetts and other states to the Constitution:

Answer 4

The IRS is a part of the US Department of Treasury, not a company. I know I worked for the IRS and you go through all the same steps as applying and being hired as any other federal agency. You are a part of the federal salary and benefit structure and you are classified as a federal employee in every way. Just because you might disagree with the right of government to have an income tax doesn't mean you have to lie about the agency.
