The Articles of the Constitution are those sections that explain how our government is set up and how it is supposed to run. This includes how our President is chosen, how our representatives in Congress are chosen, and how the Supreme Court is set up. The Articles explain how these branches of government are supposed to work together to achieve the goals of our country. The goals are explained in the "Preamble".
