What is a constitution? Why does a country need a constitution?

A constitution is a list of general laws, precedents, and principles that work to determine how a government is set up and functions, as well as its powers and limits in regards to its interaction and effect on citizens and people that fall under it. A constitution is NOT a document that grants or defines what rights people do or do not have. And that is true of the US Constitution. All they determine regarding the rights of people is what rights the government recognizes and will agree or be held to not violate and/or will protect.
Nearly every government has a constitution. Because the constitution does not require a single, specific document that clearly lays out the laws in question. A constitution can be a body of laws and precedents, consisting of tens, hundreds or thousands or more laws and legal decisions, and that may go back hundreds or even 1000+ years (such as Britain’s constitution… I don’t know if they have yet written any documents that lay out what all laws and decisions are currently applicable, but the actual ruling laws and precedents/principles that make up their constitution have been built up over the course of almost 1000 years, or more (depending on whether you count the Norman takeover in and around 1066 to be the start of what’s become modern Britain, or if Anglo-Saxon era still is considered to have any significant ties to what they’ve become).
Every country needs a constitution. Most have them. Because without one, there is either ever changing dictatorial rules, or else there is anarchy. You can’t run a stable functional government of any kind without laws or precedent/principle in place to do so.
Now if you want to know whether every country should have a single document that is the sole decision maker on various topics/issues of government function, like the US (and as adopted in recent times by some other western and even non-western nations), then I’d say that not every country needs one of those. They’re necessary if establishing a new government. They’re necessary if a government or population needs to establish a more stable government or system than what they have. They need one if they are completely changing styles of government. But for at least a handful of countries that have been stable for centuries, they seem to do just fine without requiring some attempt to boil down an untold number of laws and precedents over those centuries into one short summary that would inevitably fail to be any more accurate or reliable to count on than what they’ve been fine with “forever”.
