Heimler's History DISCORD Server:   / discord  

In this video Heimler walks you through the United States Constitution, which is a required foundational document for the AP Government curriculum.

The Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation as the governing document of the United States, and in doing so transferred more power into the hands of the federal government. However, in order to keep that power in its proper bounds, the Constitution provides for three branches of government which operate independently from one another but which can also check the power of the others through a system of checks and balances.
