The Constitution of the USA

American Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 by delegates from all over the country. In 1791 the Bill of Rights was added to it.

The Bill of Rights gives American citizens freedom of speech, of the press and worship; the right to meet peacefully; the right to be secure0000 in one's own home against unreasonable searches and seizure of person and property; and the right of any person charged with breaking the law to have a speedy trail by a jury of fellow citizens.

The Constitution divided the powers of government into three branches: the executive, the legislative and the juridical.

The executive power is headed by the President. The legislative power includes both houses of Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate).

The juridical power is headed by the Supreme Court. The Constitution limits the role of each branch not to give any of them too much power.

For example, if the Congress adopted a law and the President signed it but the law conflicts with the Constitution, the Supreme Court cancels this law.

The whole system of American government is based on the principles established in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Americans are proud of their Constitution.

Hollywood, also known as Tinsel Town USA, is synonymous with the American motion-picture industry. It is a very special part of a larger city called Los Angeles, California, and it attracts lots of people. It's easy to see where Hollywood is. There is a big sign on the hills nearby which reads: "HOLLYWOOD". The white letters are fifty feet tall.

Once Hollywood was all farmland. But, Southern California's climate was perfect for the motion-picture industry, since the area had settings for just about any movie – mountains, desert and ocean. By 1910, filmmakers began moving there, and the first film studio was established in 1911. Soon about 20 companies were producing films in the area.

With the advent of television, Hollywood began to expand its focus. By early 1960s, it had become the source of much of American network television entertainment.

Today's movies are made in other places too, although Hollywood remains the centre for music recording companies and for advertising and talent agencies.

When we think of Hollywood, we think of movies and famous movie stars. They are part of Hollywood history. Many stars, past and present, live in neighbouring communities such as Beverly Hills and Bel-Air. People flock to Hollywood to see the star's foot-and hand-prints outside Mann's Chinese Theatre, and to follow the celebrity plaques embedded in cement along the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Today, it is possible to make a trip through Universal Studios Hollywood. It becomes a journey through a hundred film fantasies. An open-air tram takes visitors through the various movie studios, and, along the way, they experience recreations of classical movie special effects.
