the people or a governing body.
• Rule of Law: Establishes the principle that all individuals are subject to the
same laws, regardless of their position or status.

legislative, executive, judicial) to prevent concentration of power and ensure
checks and balances.
• Limited Government: Limits the powers of the government to protect
individual rights and freedoms.
• Bill of Rights: Guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms to citizens, such

• Provides a framework: A constitution establishes the basic structure and


principles of a government, providing a foundation for its operation.
• Protects individual rights: It guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms to
citizens, safeguarding them from government overreach.
• Limits government power: By defining the powers and limitations of the
government, a constitution prevents the concentration of power and ensures
that the government acts within its prescribed boundaries.
• Promotes stability: A well-crafted constitution can promote political stability
and continuity by providing a clear framework for governance and resolving
disputes.
• Serves as a social contract: A constitution can be seen as a social contract
between the government and its citizens, outlining the mutual rights and
responsibilities of each party.
