Nature and Concept of a Constitution

Nature and Concept of a Constitution
A constitution is a system of fundamental laws for the
governance and administration of a nation. It is supreme,
imperious, absolute and unalterable except by the authority
from which it emanates.
It has been defined as the fundamental and paramount law of the
nation. It
a) prescribes the permanent framework of a system of
government,
b) assigns to the different departments their respective
powers and duties, and
c) establishes certain fixed principles on which government
is founded.
The fundamental conception in other words is that it is a supreme
law to which all other laws must conform and in accordance with
which all private rights must be determined and all public authority
administered.
