Here you go Drew... very basically

The Declaration of Independence was when the founding states declared the 13 American colonies to be independent states and no longer governed by the British Empire

The United States Constitution was the original document which laid out how the United States would be governed.

If you want more info the look both items up on Wikipedia. They're reasonably free from legal jargonese
