good, strong health habits, the luck of good genes-if you are speaking of , for example--He was hale and hearty at 80 because of his strong constitution.
We all know what the Constitution and Bill of Rights are and another meaning is the make up or content of something. I'm betting you are asking about the more obscure meaning as in the first example.
