A constitution is important because:
- It ensures that individuals who make choices on behalf of the people do so in an equitable manner.
- It also illustrates how persons in positions of authority can be held accountable to the people who elected them.
- Safeguarding individual liberty and rights, also determines the limits of government power.
- Human dignity, equality, and liberty are all protected and promoted by these rights.
- Constitutions can specify the division of powers between the federal government and the states.
- To provide a framework for the resolution of divergent political viewpoints, constitutions should be agreed upon rather than imposed.
- They contribute to societal stability by ensuring that the public recognizes the legitimacy of the government-selection system, even if not everyone agrees with the government at the time.
