This Matters with Bill Britt

Why we have a Constitution

The Constitution divides government power, protects individual liberty and ensures that no leader or institution stands permanently beyond constitutional restraint.

The Constitution gives government power—and places limits on everyone trusted to exercise it.

Government is necessary. But who controls the people who control the government?

In this episode of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines why the Constitution divides power among three branches, protects individual rights and places the law above those entrusted to enforce it.

Because no government should ever be trusted without limits.
