1. The constitution provides a framework (rules, structures) for the function of the government (for example, it names the parts of the government)

2. The constitution divides the power between the states and the federal government. This division is called "federalism".

3. The constitution names individual rights of the citizens, which cannot be violated. Other laws in the country will have to then agree with the constitution.
