Constitutional law is the body of law which defines the relationship of different
entities within a state, namely, the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents
according to which a state or other organization is governed.[1] These rules together
make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. 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 written down in a single comprehensive
document, it is said to embody acodified constitution. Some constitutions (such as
the constitution of the United Kingdom) are uncodified, but written in numerous
fundamental Acts of a legislature, court cases or treaties.
