Best Answer

It is not a law, it is a declaration of federal authority and the dictation of the fundamental structure of the United States government. However, the structure it dictates may be considered "laws"and therefore a collection of laws, if you so choose to see it that way. The Bill of Rights, separate from the Constitution, does include laws and restrictions of rights.
