determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in
it. It is a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization.

The Constitution is the basic and paramount law to which all other laws must conform
and to which all persons, including the highest officials of the land, must defer. Constitutional
doctrines must remain steadfast no matter what the tides of time may be. It cannot be simply
made to sway and accommodate the call of situations and much more tailor itself to the whims
and caprices of government and the people who run it.
Constitution only has the Rights and Duties of people and government. But the Acts
provide the details necessary and the rules and regulations, punishments, etc.
