Answer:

A constitution is an aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of a polity, organisation or other type of entity and commonly determine how that entity is to be governed.

What Is a Constitution?

The vast majority of contemporary constitutions describe the basic principles of the state, the structures and processes of government and the fundamental rights of citizens in a higher law that cannot be unilaterally changed by an ordinary legislative act. This higher

law is usually referred to as aconstitution.

The content and nature of a particular constitution, as well as how it relates to the rest of the legal and political order, varies considerably between countries, and there is no universal and uncontested definition of a constitution.

Nevertheless, any broadly accepted

working definition of a constitution would likely include the following characteristics:

A constitution is a set of fundamental legal-political rules that:

(1) are binding on everyone in the state, including ordinary lawmaking institutions;

(2) concern the structure and operation of the institutions of government, political

principles and the rights of citizens;

(3) are based on widepread public legitimacy;

(4) are harder to change than ordinary laws (e.g. a two-thirds majority vote or or a referendum is needed);

(5) as a minimum, meet the internationally recognized criteria for a democratic system in terms of representations and human rights

Explanation:

The Functions of a Constitution

• Constitutions can declare and define the boundaries of the political community. These boundaries can be territorial (the geographical borders of a state, as well as its claims to any other territory or extra-territorial rights) and personal (the definition of citizenship).

Thus, a country’s constitution often distinguishes between those who are inside and those who are outside the polity.

• Constitutions can declare and define the nature and authority of the political community. They often declare the state’s fundamental principles and assumptions, as well as where its sovereignty lies. For example, the French Constitution declares that ‘France is an

indivisible, secular, democratic and social Republic’ and that ‘National sovereignty

belongs to the people, who exercise it through their representatives and by means of referendums’ (Constitution of the Fifth French Republic). The Constitution of Ghana (1992) states that, ‘The Sovereignty of Ghana resides in the people of Ghana in whose name and for whose welfare the powers of government are to be exercised’.

• Constitutions can express the identity and values of a national community. As nation-building instruments,Constitutions may define the national flag, anthem and other symbols, and may make proclamations about the values, history and identity of the nation.
