Commencing with the bedrock of politics, we set the scene for a captivating act on the US Government Constitution, illustrating its vibrant details and nuances.
But as the spotlight shifts, the audience is treated to a mesmerising portrayal of the three pivotal pillars of the US government: the legislative audacity of Congress, the assertive command of the President, and the stern yet just gaze of the Supreme Court.
