Constitution

A constitution sets up the different branches of government and defines their powers and responsibilities. For example, the Constitution Act, 1867 established Canada as a constitutional monarchy.

Defines rights: It includes provisions for protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Governs the nation: It is the highest law in a country, and all other laws must comply with it. Any law that contradicts the constitution is of no force or effect.

Can be complex: A constitution is not always a single document. The Constitution of Canada, for instance, is a collection of written documents, such as the Constitution Acts, and unwritten principles and conventions.

Supersedes other laws: In countries like the United States, the constitution superseded previous governing documents, like the Articles of Confederation.
