What is constitution means
Answer Posted / mojeed odunfa
A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or
established precedents according to which a state or other
organization is governed.[1] These rules together make up,
i.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles
are written down into a single or set of legal documents,
those documents may be said to comprise a written constitution.
Constitutions concern different levels of organizations,
from sovereign states to companies and unincorporated
associations. A treaty which establishes an international
organization is also its constitution in that it would
define how that organization is constituted. Within states,
whether sovereign or federated, a constitution defines the
principles upon which the state is based, the procedure in
which laws are made and by whom. Some constitutions,
especially written constitutions, also act as limiters of
state power by establishing lines which a state's rulers
cannot cross such as fundamental rights.
