Solution

Constitution is the law determining the fundamental political principles of a government.

Three conditions to assess a law’s status as a ‘Constitution’:

  1. The document is identified explicitly as the Constitution, Fundamental Law, or Basic Law of a country
  2. The document contains explicit provisions that establish it as the highest law, either through entrenchment or limits on future law
  3. The document defines the basic pattern of authority by establishing or suspending an executive or legislative branch of government.
