day after day, I see Americans of every race, religion, nationality and point of view find a resolve, their differences in the courtroom. It has not always been so. In earlier times, both here and abroad, individuals and communities settled their differences not in the courtrooms on the law, but on the streets. With violence, we Americans treasure the customs and institutions that have helped us find the better way. And we not only hope, but I also believe that in the future we will continue to resolve disputes under law, just as surely as we will continue to hold elections for president and Congress. Our beliefs reflect the strip of our Constitution and the institutions it has created. The Constitution's form and language have helped it indoor. The document is short seven articles and 27 amendments. It focuses primarily on our double nets structure. Its provisions form a simple, coherent whole, permitting readers without technical knowledge to understand the document and the government it creates. And it traces the government's authority directly to a single source of legitimizing power. We, the people, Washington D. C. It houses our nation's most valuable treasures. Each year, 30 million people from around the world come here to witness the history that has taken place. It has become our nation's greatest civic stage, giving voice to protesters and presidents alike. Behind all this stands an elite group of federal officers who enforce the laws and liberties in our nation's capital in both peace and chaos. Follow us as we go behind the badge of the United States Park police.
