Certain aspects of the United States government are unique, none more sothat the law of the land, the United States Constitution. Drafted in 1787 andratified in 1789, it is the oldest such written document in continual use, andone that has influenced legal thinking and other constitutions around theglobe.

美国政府的一些构成方面是绝无仅有的，其间，美国的根柢大法《宪法》当属最特另外一个方面。美国《宪法》起草于1787年，1789年批阅经过，它是当前仍在运用的此类文件中前史最悠长的一个，一起也对全球的法令思维和其他国家宪法的拟定发生了影响。

The Constitution’s preamble, or introduction, begins with the words “We thePeople,” indicating that although the document was written to establish anational government, the government itself was set up to serve the people, andderives its power from them.

美国宪法的序文有些以“咱们合众国公民”最初，标明尽管撰写《宪法》是为了树立美国政府，但政府本身树立的意图是为了效能公民，其权力也来自于公民。

The body of the Document sets out the balance and separation of power amongthe three branches of the Government: the Legislative, or law-making branch thatis the U.S. Congress, the Executive branch which is headed by the President, andthe Judiciary, which interprets the law at every level and settles legaldisputes regarding the meaning and the application of the law. The idea was thatno one branch of the government would be able to gain a disproportionate amountof power.

《宪法》的主体有些陈述了美国政府三权分立的制衡机制：立法分支担任拟定法令——美国国会，行政分支——总统，司法分支担任说明各个层级的法令，并处置因法令规则的意义和施行所造成的使的法令争议。三权分立的初衷是政府的任何分支都无法具有过大权力。

Having just won a war to rid themselves of an authoritarian government, theFramers of the Constitution were above all careful to create a nationalgovernment that would not, could not wield absolute power, but at the same time,could not be superseded by individual states.

在刚刚赢得美国独立战争的成功并得以脱节一个独裁政府后，美国宪法的拟定者们极度稳重，想要创建一个不会也无法行使必定权力的国家政府，但一起这个政府的权力也不会被其各个州所替代。

So, the Constitution defines the states’ relationship to the federalgovernment, as well as the rights and responsibilities of state governments. Andto ensure the document is flexible enough to stand the test of time, the framersmade provisions that allowed for it to be changed, or amended, to reflectchanges within society itself.

因而，美国《宪法》规则了各州与联邦政府的联络以及各州政府的权力和责任。一起，为了保证《宪法》的变通性，让其经得起时刻的检测，拟定者还在宪法中规则答应宪法发生改动、修订、反映社会的改变。

Ironically, this helped the Constitution to overcome its first majorhurdle—ratification by the thirteen states that made up the United States of thetime.

出人意料的是，这一点反而协助《宪法》并吞了第一个首要妨碍——其时所属美国的13个州均经过了《宪法》。

That’s because the populace, which had just freed itself from shacklesimposed on it by one government, was loath to

agree to empowering another suchbody. Many saw a strong central government as a threat to individual rights. So,to obtain ratification in several vacillating states, ten Amendments,collectively named the Bill of Rights, were added.

这是因为刚从一个政府的枷锁中解放出来的一般群众不愿意再委身于再将权力交给这样的政府。许多人认为，中心政府的健壮会挟制到自个权力。所以，为了让几个犹疑不决的州附和《宪法》的经过，又添加了《权力法案》，又称《人权法案》。

In the words of James Madison, who is considered to be the Father of theConstitution, “The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it isfrom them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches ofgovernment hold their power, is derived.”

美国宪法之父詹姆斯麦迪逊(JamesMadison)说过，“公民是仅有合法的权力来历，正是有了公民，才有了《宪法》，而有了宪法，才有了三权制衡的机制。”
