Constituent power means making your views known to legislators to influence him/her. It has been said (by legislators) that for every personally written letter to a legislator, 100 others agree with the writer. And legislators do pay attention to what people in their own districts want.

An assembly or parliament is constituted in a democratic set up. The powers that is vested in you to constitute and conduct the constituent bodies is the constituent powers.
Once it is constituted, it becomes a legislative body. So the law making authority is vested in them . That is the legislative powers.
Otherwise What ever is derived out of the Constitution is the former and what ever is practiced in a legislative body is legislative power

You're the constituent that has the power of one vote, petitions, etc. You help get these idiots elected, and then there power is when they align themselves with one of the two idiot parties we have, and then pass whatever the heck they want.
