- A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed.
- These rules together make up, i.e., constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a written constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution. Constitutions concern different levels of organizations, from sovereign states to companies and unincorporated associations.
- A constitution is a high-level legal document designed to govern the workings of a political entity, like a country or a state. It typically lays out the structure of the government, the process by which its officials are elected or appointed, the powers and duties of the government, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
