The Constitution sets up the government and defines the government. What is the third thing it does?

1. The Constitution has three jobs, and two of them are named in the question. 2. It sets up the government, giving the country its branches and offices. 3. It defines the government, saying what each part may and may not do. 4. The third job is to protect the basic rights of Americans. 5. Voters choose the President, so choosing the President each term is not a job of the Constitution. 6. Congress collects taxes and the President picks judges, so neither of those options belongs here either. _Source: USCIS Civics Flash Cards M-623 (rev. 02/12), public domain, official civics question 2_
