'''''For the article on the United States Constitution, go to [[United States Constitution]]'''''
A '''constitution''' is a system of managing a nation's [[government]], that usually spells out how the government is to be structured and the rules the government must follow. A constitution is usually written, but not always.
Alternatively, a constitution is the fundamental [[law]] of a [[nation]] or [[state]] which establishes the character and basic principles of the government. In the [[United States]], both the nation and each state have constitutions. Each [[state government|state's government]] is bound by both the limitations on its powers set forth in its state constitution and the limitations on the powers of the states set forth in the United States Constitution
