A constitution is a system, often codified as a written document, which establishes the rules and principles by which an organization, or political entity, is governed. In the case of countries this term refers specifically to a national constitution, which defines the fundamental political principles and establishes the power and duties of each government. Most national constitutions also guarantee certain rights to the people. Historically, before the evolution of modern-style, codified national constitutions, the term constitution could be applied to any important law that governed the functioning of a government.

In the United States of America, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, defining the minimum standards under which the government must operate and the most they may do. Because it is the supreme law of the land, even if federal or state legislation were passed that directly contradicted the Constitution, the law would be invalid.
Beyond that, it also establishes that our rights exist outside of the government. Even if the government decides to make laws to take them away, they still exist. Further, it establishes that just because certain rights were listed in the Constitution, it doesn't mean that's all of them...other rights exist and are equally protected, despite the fact that they are not explicitly written down.
