NON!

Greetings!

Actually it is in the word "constitute", thus what constitutes this government. So it really isn't the form of government but what it is. For example The US constitution refers to an agreement (the states) to govern by using a Republic (elected officials representing an electorate).
So simply put, it is a contract , (see Mayflower Compact) and agreement by a government (see Articles of Confederation) and so on.

A non-constitutional government is whereby the electorate has no say in the forming of the government even though they may be given some powers. It is still power that can be revoked, because there is not a constitution, (agreement).

The most simple example is a Monarchy.

Good Luck

A non-constitutional government is simply one that does not have a written supreme law defining how the government will operate. Usually, such a government is subject to the random whims of a single leader (monarchy, dictatorship) or group of leaders (oligarchy). A constitutional government, on the other hand, has a written charter.

Most governments exist under some form of official documentation , but to what extent they actually follow their own laws or act according to the will of the governed is always questionable. It certainly isn't a "contract," as someone asserted above. I live in the U.S. under a burgeoning police state that masquerades as constitutional, but I certainly never joined or signed any "contract" authorizing it.
