2.What does the Constitution do?
2.憲法的作用是什么？
Answer: It sets up the government; It defines the government; It protects the basic rights of Americans
答案：憲法組建了政府；憲法界定了政府；憲法保護美國人的基本權利。
Explanation: The United States would be a very different country if it did not have the U.S. Constitution, because it does three very important things.
解釋：如果沒有美國憲法，美國就不會是現在的美國，因為憲法有三大重要作用。
First, it sets up (or organizes) the government, just like you would organize any organization or business.
第一，它組建了政府，就像你組建任何組織或企業一樣。
The U.S. Constitution divides the government into three branches (or parts): the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch.
美國憲法把政府分成三個部門：立法部門，行政部門和司法部門。
The legislative branch creates (or makes) the new laws.
立法部門創立新的法律。
The executive branch enforces (or makes sure people follow) the laws.
行政部門執行法律。
The judicial branch is the court system,
司法部門是法院系統，
which interprets (or decides what something means in) the laws and determines (or decides) who is guilty of breaking (or going against) the laws.
它詮釋法律，并決定某人是否有罪。
All three branches are important.
三個部門都很重要。
The Constitution makes the branches share power equally, which means that no one branch is stronger than the others.
憲法使各個部門權力平等，也就意味著沒有哪個部門會比其他部門更強大。
One branch cannot take all the power for itself.
單個部門不能獨攬大權。
We call this sharing "checks and balances."
我們將此稱為“三權分立”。
