The Constitution has been in effect for nearly two centuries because its authors properly balanced and separated governmental powers to protect the interests of majority rule and minority rights, liberty and equality, and the state and federal governments.
Option C is the correct answer, it is the oldest written constitution.
The oldest because:
- Since 1789, around 800 constitutions have been established and later revised by independent states around the world, including the U.S Constitution, i.e., the Constitution of the United States of America, which is the shortest and oldest written constitution still in existence.
- It was drafted during the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, which began on May 25, 1787, and ended with the signing of the document on September 17, 1787.
- Its first three words, "We the People," assert that the United States government exists to serve its citizens.
