What is the primary purpose of the U.S. Constitution?

Establishing the framework of U.S. governance
Establishing the system of separation of powers
limiting the power of the states
Setting rules and regulations for U.S. citizens

The correct answer is: Establishing the framework of U.S. governance

The U.S. Constitution serves as the foundation for the United States government and its system of laws. It establishes the framework for how the government is organized and how it operates, as well as outlining the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. Option B is incorrect because while the Constitution does indeed establish the separation of powers between the three branches of government, this is not its primary purpose. Option C is incorrect because while the Constitution does place limitations on the power of individual states, this is not its main purpose. Option D is also incorrect as the primary purpose of the Constitution is not to set rules and regulations for citizens, although it does outline some basic rights and responsibilities.
