The Constitution begins with a Preamble, then moves through 18 chapters, 264 articles, and ends with 6 schedules. Together they form a single legal instrument: the articles state the rules, and the schedules add the lists and tables that would make the main text unreadably long if everything were written out there.
The Constitution begins with a Preamble, then 18 chapters and 264 articles in one continuous sequence, and ends with 6 schedules. Chapters group topics; schedules carry lists, oaths, function splits, timelines, and transition rules.

Use this lesson as your map before Chapter 1. Know the difference between chapters (themes), articles (the actual rules), and schedules (detail that supports the articles).
