You really should take a look at Constitutewebsite. You can read all he worlds constitutions. If you take a look at the search page, you’ll see a list of topics on the left side that tend to be addressed in a constitution.

A little shorter answer is that a constitution is a kind of super law that defines how regular laws are passed and how they shall be enforced. That mean that you have to address that the must be some kind of legislative authority that writes laws. If that body is elected, you’ll need to give some kind of guideline as to how elections shall happen. In enforcing laws you’ll tend to need a state bureaucracy that implement laws and prosecute according to laws. Aka an Executive Branch. If the courts should be separate from the execute is common, but not necessary, thus it’s optional.

In foreign relations there is international laws that defines a Head of State, Head of Government, ambassadors and a few others that should be addressed how these positions are to be filled. If you’re going to have direct elections you’ll need to specify how those elections shall be conducted or if the legislative shall appoint someone to hold these offices. Of if you have a monarchy where the head of state is hereditary.

This is basically the unavoidable stuff, which is an answer to the question “What *must* be addressed while formulating a constitution?”
