WHAT ISACONSTITUTION?
A Constitution is a collection of rules and principles which set out how a state will be
governed.
It forms the framework for all decisions made by every government official and, particularly
the legislature (the law making body), executive (President/Prime Minister/ministers) and
the courts.
It also sets out the rights of everyone which must be respected by the state and therefore
establishes the relationship between the government and the people.
Why is a constitution important?
A constitution is important because it ensures that those who make decisions on behalf of the
public fairly represent public opinion.
It also sets out the ways in which those who exercise power may be held accountable to the
people they serve.
And it sets out where government powers end by guaranteeing individuals’ specific rights and
freedoms. These rights help to assure the protection and promotion of human dignity, equality
and liberty.
Constitutions may provide for the division of powers between the central government and the
regions.
Constitutions should be agreed rather than imposed so as to provide an acceptable framework
for the settling of different political views. They help provide for a stable society by ensuring that,
although everybody may not agree with the government all the time, the people accept the
legitimacy of the system of choosing governments.
