A constitution is a set of rules for government—often codified as a written document—that establishes principles of an autonomous political entity. In the case of countries, this term refers specifically to a national constitution defining the fundamental political principles, and establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of a government. By limiting the government's own reach, most constitutions guarantee certain rights to the people. The term constitution can be applied to any overall law that defines the functioning of a government, including several historical constitutions that existed before the development of modern national constitutions.

Constitutions concern different kinds of political organizations. They are found extensively in regional government, at supranational (e.g., European Union), federal (e.g., Indian Constitution), state or provincial (e.g., the constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the constitution of the State of New York), and sub-national levels. They are also found in many political groups, such as political parties, pressure groups, and trade unions.

Non-political entities such as corporations and voluntary associations, whether incorporated or not, may also have a constitution. The constitution of a legally incorporated entity is more usually styled as its memorandum and articles of association (U.S. incorporation).

Constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 448 articles, 12 schedules and 94 amendments, thereby totaling 117,369 words in its English language version.

A. This is what scares me about this crop of candidates. They are all screaming change. Make change, I made change, change is on the march. The only one of them that states what he would change isn't taken seriously. ( Paul) What change do we need? Perhaps a return to conservatism and common sense. Like it was before Clinton became our worst embarrassment as president since Jimmy Carter. There is nothing wrong with our constitution and I wish people would leave it alone. Look at the world. It is still the best Declaration of Freedom ever written. Should we dis panel the house and senate? Hell no. The only change Dems ever want is higher taxes. The only change Rebs want is less government. Are these people ever going to discuss real… [cont.]
