A constitution is a system, often codified as a written document, that establishes the rules and principles that govern an organization or political entity. In the case of countries, this term refers specifically to a national constitution defining the fundamental political principles, and establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of a 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.

It is a set of rule or regulation. In Canada, our Constitution separate the power between the Federal and Provincial government.

Many years ago, the province of Saskatchewan had a hunting law prohibiting people from hunting over the air space. One man was charged while hunting from the helicopter. He argued in court that the hunting law was unconstitutional, because air space was within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. The court agreed.

You can also find a constitution in some large corporation such as banks and labour unions.
