"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."\n\nThe simplest meaning is that the Constitution is written by and for the People, and that it derives its authority from the People, in the interests that are further outlined in the Preamble. \n\nI can't tell you what to draw - you need to draw something that represents what those simple, yet powerful, words mean to you.

The Constitution will not go into effect as law of the Land until ratified.\n\nThe (then) current Articles of Confederation were not meant to last forever and needed replacement and enhancements.  These Articles did not specify States Rights versus Federal Rights clearly.\n\nThe Federal Government is broken into 3 branches of Government, to ensure a system of "Checks and Balances."  No single group could get control.  Also, unlike the Articles, the Constitution gave details on how it can be changed in the future (by Ammentments and Ratification).

Federal trump state. State trumps local. Constitution trumps statute. Statute trumps case law.\n\nSo, from the top -- federal constitutional text, then US Supreme Court interpreting federal constitution, then federal statute, then other federal case law, then state constitution, etc....\n\nAs far as one state relative to another, neither is binding on the other.

The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion.  A politician has the right to freely talk about the Ten Commandments.\n\nThe Constitution does not ANYWHERE separate church and state.  It just says not to have a state-run church, referring to the Church of England situation.\n\nThe Constitution is one of the most misinterpreted documents........

The ultimate answer is "The State Constitution".

1.  B.  The order is Speaker of the House, then President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then the Cabinet positions in order of their creation (State is first).\n\n2.  A.  Only because many state constitutions have a Bill of Rights incorporated into the document (see the Illinois Constitution) and not as a separate set of amendments.\n\n3.  A.  A bill originating in the Senate would be SR.

The Constitution defines the powers of each branch of government.  The three branches are the judicial, the legislative, and the executive.  If a topic isn't covered, then it doesn't exist.

Article 4 Section 4 of the US Constitution states: The United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.\n\nA republican form of government refers to government by representatives.  We are often referred to as a democratic republic because we elect representatives though a democratic process.  In a true democracy, they are no representatives, every action of government is voted on by the people.

The Constitution is.  No law shall be higher than the Constitution.  The Constitution overrides all laws (local, state, federal), and anything that's amended to it automatically becomes so.

It's in Article V of the Constitution.\n\n"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress"\n\nSo, either Congress or 34+ state legislatures (>2/3) propose it. And then 38+ states (>3/4) must approve it, either by a vote of the state legislatures, or by state conventions as defined by state laws.

All of Article One.  It's actually a quite large section:\n\nhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.table.html#articlei\n\nSections 7-10 would be most likely where you'll find what you need, since those section outline powers, limits, and what authority they carry over the states.\n\nAlso, while many people wouldn't even think of it, the 27th Amendment grants power to Congress...to decide their pay:\n\nhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxxvii.html

(Ah, sounds like a homework question)\nIt depends upon how literal you want to go with "not listed in the Constitution."\nThe biggest one is the right to privacy, which includes right to contraception (Griswold v. Conn.) the right to an abortion (Roe v. Wade) and the right to consensual private sexual conduct (Lawrence v. Texas). \nNext, I'd say rights that "spring" from dileaneated rights.  For example, the right to have "Miranda" warnings springs from the 5th Amendment Self-Incrimination Clause.  The right to flag burning and other "expressive conduct" springs from the First Amendment Free Speech Clause.  The right to be free from state sponsored segregation springs from the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.  The right to (basically) unlimited spending of money for political speech springs from the First Amendment Free Speech clause.  \nIn all of those in the above paragraph, there is nothing in the constitution about getting Miranda warnings, about schools not being segregated, or about getting to spend as much money as you want, but the Courts have interpreted concrete clauses in the constitution as providing those rights.\n\nPowers not in the Constitution that are returned to the States / People:\nPower to regulate real property and conveyances thereof (almost exclusively state controlled)\nPower to enact generally applicable criminal laws (almost all criminal law is state law)\nPower to decide how Presidential Electors are chosen.\nPower of localities to regulate business licenses and zoning laws (not in contradition with federal civil rights)\n\nJust a few.
