"A constitution is
the aggregate of fundamental principles or
established precedents that
constitute the legal basis
of a polity, organization or
other type of entity,
and commonly determines how that entity is to be
governed. When these principles are written down into a
single document or set of legal documents, those
documents may be said to embody a written
constitution; if they are encompassed in a single
comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified
constitution. The
Constitution of the United Kingdom is a
notable example of an uncodified
constitution; it is instead written in numerous
fundamental Acts of a legislature, court cases, or
treaties." Source
