Constitution - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A constitution is the�most fundamental law of a sovereign body.�The term�is capitalized only when referring to a specific constitution (e.g.,�U.S. Constitution, Texas Constitution, etc.).

In many cases, "constitution" refers to a single written document that explicitly creates government institutions, defines the scope of government power, and guarantees certain civil liberties.�

Nonetheless, a constitution does not inherently need to be written. In the case of an unwritten constitution, the term might simply refer to the general structure�of a certain government regardless of how it arose or evolved.�For example, the United Kingdom does not have any written constitution.�
