What are the three parts of the Constitution?

• A. Preamble, Articles, Amendments
• B. Preamble, 7 Articles, 27 Amendments
• C. Preamble, Constitution, Bill of Rights
• D. Preamble, 10 Articles, 26 Amendments

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how the Constitution is structured in three parts. The opening Preamble states the goals and purpose of the document, framing why the Constitution exists. The main body is made up of seven Articles that lay out the framework of the government—how Congress is organized, the powers of the President and the courts, how states relate to the federal government, and how laws and the Constitution can be changed. The Amendments are the changes and additions to the original text; there are 27 in total, with the first ten forming the Bill of Rights and the others refining rights and procedures over time.

This is the best answer because it provides the precise counts and clearly distinguishes between the initial structure (Preamble and seven Articles) and what comes after (27 Amendments), including the important note that the Bill of Rights is part of the Amendments, not a separate section.
