A
constitution is the highest rule book for a country. Think of it like an instruction manual that says how the government is built and how it must behave. It lists basic rights that belong to every citizen. No president, king, or ordinary law can break those rules. If a new law clashes with the constitution, courts can strike it down. That is why people call the constitution the
supreme law.

The word constitution comes from Latin and means "to set up" or "establish." Every country needs clear rules so power is not grabbed by one person alone.
